I too have no real world experience with it but back in the late 90s many vee a hulls were being supercharged and the owners were just going up in pitch and would often experience problems. The recommendation was usually was a gear change instead of a bigger prop.

I would give BBlades a shout out.

ill have to do some more reading

i did reach out to BBlades and he sounded pretty sure with some prop work he could get it pretty cleaned up, so ill be sending that out in a few week s

Do you remember if it was a pitch or a larger diameter thing ? I know diameter can do some odd things, especially small lightweight boats.

I was wondering if its a diameter thing as well, if you have less of it, it should be less leverage to roll the boat - or so i thought but i could not find any info on it

If no answers here, being a West Coast Boat, there are a handful of those Shockwave Tremor's running pretty good over at River Dave's Place.
Here is just one thread: https://www.riverdavesplace.com/foru...tremor.101747/

Dont know if it would help but I read an article years back about a little tab you can put on the length of your skeg to prevent torque lean. RPM used it on almost all their boats.

Torque tab, but as you said, believe to counter torque steer. Never read or have any experience if they help with a list.

For $26 its worth a try. It cant get any cheaper or easier. It will cost more for the beer.
