My daughter and her husband, Mike, own a 1980 Proline 17 foot medallin series boat with a 85 hp yamaha installed. They bought boat last year but daughter did not tell her "Daddy" the boat has major problems.
As soon as the boat planes the boat want to roll either left or right. They can not increase speed as they are sure it would roll over.
The hull is a "V" with slight tri hull simularities. They do not have plane flaps and say motor is centered and straight. The boat has a canope.
This weekend Mike took a man his size 260 lb's to be ballast on left side to move around but no effect. So they put put around, under plane.
I have written an email to Proline but they did not answer. Would installing plane wings on motor help? Looking for clues to fix boat. Can't use this way.
