Default Stability problem with 19' cuddy

Hey guys,

Been a while since I posted. Only got the boat out 1 time last summer due to outragous gas prices. Anyway here is the problem. I have an 19' 86 cuddy that to me seems really rocky. If I'm cruising along and left off the throttle the boat wants to lean to one side or the other. Trying to turn after throttling back is completely out of the question until the bow of the boat settles down a bit. It is not always the same side. I use to have a tri-hull that you couldn't flip if you wanted to. I have had a couple instances when the entire boat felt like it was going to flip. Just curious if any of you Bayliner owners have had the same problem. I have tried to make sure that my load is as balanced as I can get it. I have gotten to the point where I won't even pull the tube with this boat anymore because of this. Do you think that smart tabs would help at all?

Thanks

Well my friend you're talking apples and oranges here. Two distinct and different hull designs - both will act accordingly.
Your trihull has a lot more wetted area than the monohull does. Turning will definitely be felt differently in both.
Your mono hull is safe, don't worry about it flipping or capsizing it unless you get really stupid.
