I am switching to a 15 pitch prop to see if that helps the situation. I currently have a 17 pitch and the boat steers to port. I think part of the problem is that I have to steer a bit to starboard to keep the boat tracking straight due to the prop torque. Will update as I figure things out.

Well, the 15p prop was way too little pitch. Went back to the 17p. Also, the boat is currently at the dealer to have the hull reworked to remove deflections that the dealership hopes is causing the listing. I hope to have it back in the water by this coming weekend.

WooHoo, I have a boat that works!!!! After 2 weeks at the dealer, they were able to correct the deflections in the hull that were causing the horrible listing. Took the boat out last night and was amazed at the smooth and stable ride.
