Well balanced awesome looking boat, well done! Ive got one of these however, it twists 'bends' to the port side pretty bad and likes to lift its nose far into the air yours seems to be perfectly straight and balanced. im running a 200hp 3L merc, its sitting on a bobs machine shop jack plate and the cavitation plate is 2 inches above the bottom of the V hull, 27 inch pitch prop, 40L fuel tank in the front. generally wave height is between 30 to 80cm, the boat is pretty un stable and due to the twisting effect cant go fast at all in rough waters similar to these conditions. Any ideas what im doing wrong or how i can correct the twisting bending effect. so far I considered moving the battery and oil tank to the starboard side to try balance it out. When tilted all the way down the twisting effect is too much to drive, when i tilt up the motor the twisting effect decreases significantly however in rough waters '65-80cm wave height' its nose is too far in the air and makes the boat impossible to drive fast. In flat water with the engine tilted the boat is fine and will do 70mph. Anyone have a clue I would really appreciate it. Nice driving!

Sometimes the engine is placed a little out of the centre to adjust the feeling of going to hard to one side or another.
hello
what speed ?
what propeller ?
