Re: MikeyT the smart tab expert - question
 
It's called prop torque and is a reaction from the prop turning clockwise which causes the boat to react counterclockwise, or list to port.

My boat does it as well. The larger the diameter prop the more noticeable it is. I noticed it more when I switched from the stock 14" dia aluminum prop to a 14.25 dia SS prop.

Just get on plane and trim out as soon as you can. I've been told Smart Tabs would help, but I didn't notice much difference on my 18 footer.
