[QUOTE="venom17, post: 473860, member: 19002"] Just went thru this with a 19" skiff. Though mine was 2 fold. 1st, I had a hook on the bottom right side of the hull. Approx .117 that acted like a trim tab. Yes that small of a imperfections can and will effect the balance. And 2nd, my torque tab was offset. IE.. prop torque causing it to list to the port side while running. My recommendations are 1 - launch boat with no gear and let it settle at the dock. Place a level on the transom with 2-sided tape and look to see if it sets level. If it does then your boat itself is fine, no water in foam or hull. 2nd - if your boat only does it on plane then either its prop torque or an imperfection causing it. [/QUOTE]
