Default 94 z212 Handling Question - Is it supposed to do that?

This is my first time with a Mariah boat and my first time with a deep V Hull. My 94 z212 Shabah sometimes feels as if it would fall over in the water when I turn tight as in pulling a tube. My assumption has been that it is normal for this hull. Yesterday I found myself wanting to hang over the side of the boat and thought maybe I should confirm that it's normal.

    My 95 202 Shabah handles like that in sharp turns. All we do is pull tubes. You get used to it. I and my riders don't even notice it now.

    I've had back seat riders hang their arms out and touch the water during sharp turns.

    You can always add a pair of Smart Tabs and that will negate some of the roll you are experiencing.
