Leaning side to side when running in bigger water
I notice this some but my girlfriend does worse. Has anyone with a sonic 31 noticed there boat leaning hard left to right when cutting across a channel? I never feel unsafe but do notice the nose isn't carrying straight. I was leaving the moors this weekend cutting straight across to the party cove and it was pretty choppy when this happened. I have 2 things I think could cause it 1) weight (we had 8 people on board) 2) power (we have older 454's and maybe they don't have enough power to get us up and running on the top of the waves. We can run around 50 with that kind of load on the boat). Would appreciate any questions or comments. Or just a simple "this is normal"

Next time you notice the boat leaning one way turn around leaving the tab/drives setting the same. I expect the boat will now lean the "other way" as the wind is likely what is causing the problem.
