It would lift the right sponson then the left then it would drop. Like a weird twisting porpoise. I tried trim, more throttle, less throttle didn't matter. Put a stock 32 on and the boat ran straight as an arrow. It isn't always this way but stock props are at least somewhat consistent. You can take your results to a prop guy and he can set you up with the perfect prop. Hope this made a little sense.

Thanks for explaining even deeper, my boat exhibits that "roping" effect too. It's not very much, but the left sponson picks up slightly and sets down on the right, I have to steer with a slight left "English". I always thought it was bc of old technology boat or bc of the way I spin the props. Admittedly, I need to record these differences from one set of props to another when testing.
