Boat leans to left when coming on plane

[onemorecast]

I have a 2009 294 evo, since I raised the motor to 2 3/4 the boat leans left when coming on plane. After 35 mph or so it will correct. Anyone else have this problem? Its not a big deal, but I would like to know if this is normal for this hull.
I don't remember this happening before I raised the motor.

My 200XL leans to one side or the other when first taking off. Once my speed comes up and I start trimming up it levels right out. I've been told the 201 EVO does the same.

my 285 will do the same at times, when Im by myself

Its not a bad thing.

Hmmm, never noticed. I'm too busy trying to avoid the lead sleds in front of me. :)

mine just started...ironically after a lower unit rebuild.

[munchie]

they are weight sensitive hulls, too many batteries , etc on one side can cause it. try to balance load as much as possible.

Not the norm

My 200 does it also.

My 2006 294 doesn't do it. At least not enough for me to notice.

It's called the "stratos lean", . A lot of them do this, and a few don't. This goes WAY back in time, and I know of some late '90's Stratos boats that do it. It won't hurt anything, just do as everyone suggests, hit the trim and go. They level out just fine.

Oh, mine does it too. So as I start out, I turn a little to the right and hit the trim as it rolls over.

Both the 200XL boats I had would do that. It didn't hurt anything.

weight disturbution!.....all boats do it if driver has fat a$$ or batteries are on same side as driver. All those owners that have posted that theirs doesnt are FLY Weights or have balanced their luggage well. MY 389T HAS 3 BATTERIES AND BIG CHARGER ON PASSANGERS SIDE AND STILL LEANS TO THE RIGHT....LOL GUESS WHERE MY A$$ FALLS INLINE...........
