so i got my new to me 82 224 out on the water for the first time with the new engine. boat needs a transom and the gas tank coffin is soaking wet and foam is soaked. from what i can tell the rest of the foam is dry. anyways. boat sits perfectly fine does not list port or starbord. now the first time i got it up on plane the thing listed really bad to port. i adjusted the little trim tab on the engine and it seemed to have helped a little bit. would one be crazy to assume that she has soaked foam. even though she does not list at all just adrift flat calm and nobody on it. i am really worried i have read horror stories about hooks in the hull. the list while on plane now one person 225lbs can make the boat ride straight. i am just worried my little 20 does not do anything like this.
Also it seemed like with the engine trimmed all the way down it would lean worse. engine trimmed up it would almost come out of it.
also i have looked at the obvious, lead weight on one side, un even load.
the last thing im down to is wet foam.
the owner before me said the boat ran fine/rode amazing. i could not sea trail because the guy had medical problems.
