Just got a 2007 TR20 HP with a 225 proxs and a 26p tempest.
When I test drove the boat I notice a port lean when getting on plane but would completely disappear once you got the trim up. Based on what I've read online, this is normal.
Now I took it on the water for the first time this weekend and my co-angler weighs about twice as much as I do. The lean was much more noticeable, but again disappeared once I got her trimmed up. The load out was pretty light at the time. Very light tackle and ~1/2 a tank of gas. The setup is as balanced as I can get it, a 31 + 27 batteries on starboard, 2x27s on + a single powerpole on port.
Later in the day we were dealing with some big wake surfers. I trimmed the engine down but when I did, the lean came back. The next wake I tried trimming it just to the point the lean disappeared and it wasn't porpoising but when I hit that wake it felt like I almost got some air. Fun for a single wake but probably not ideal for long runs in rough water.
Now I understand that these boats aren't known for their rough water handling and still want to test out filling up the starboard livewell to help balance the boat, but I thought I would ask if anyone had any advice for handling rough water / planing at low speeds.
