Default Trim Tabs

I've got a 2003 30' Victory open bow with twin HP525EFI's and the ITS xr sportmaster set up. The boat seems to "list" (I think thats the right term, rock from side to side) when running across waves that run parallel with the boat. Has anyone experienced this problem? I've been told that a set of trim tabs will correct the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

I think thats more of a product of a 23 degree bottom, as opposed to a 24 degree bottom, if the 30 has a 23 degree like the 32. The side to side is really gentle on mine, nothing I've ever thought I needed a tab for or anything. I'm sure in some cases they could be helpful but I keep hearing that they really dont get used and they really scrub speed off of the hull, because its designed not to have them. I think most 24 degree bottoms hit side to side when running alot harder, tab or no tab, and they just dont have that same stable feeling at all in my opinion. I've had a ton of seat time in just about every brand V hull there is.
