Check you trim tabs first to see if they are even then check your drives and see if they are even.
you should switch your drives so they turn in (not out like they are)

Everything is even as you suggested. I will switch to rotating in although I am curious why they rigged it to turn out?

I know your talkin gladiators but I have a similar problem w/ my 38. The boat runs starboard side heavy but easily correctable with a little tab. The dealer tried to correct this but was unable to . Cigarette has the boat now and promises to have this taken care of for KW.

Switching from turning out to turning in solved 90% of my problem.

mine turn out michael, but I'm not reaching the speeds you are. realistically it's basic hydro dynamics, by staggered and turning in, the drives have more of a forward propulsion and will "scavenge" off one another, for wfo runs this is great. It all has to deal with the amount of water they pull through and the spacing on the hull. dock a boat wth side by side, you can spin it in a circle easy, one fwd one reverse, with cats even faster as the distance the drives are apart, but with a stagger and them close to gether it takes a little longer, just all characteristics of set ups. glad to see you're getting her dialed in. take your time and do it right.

Docking is a pain. Seem to have evrything working well but I still have some props to test.

Tried to have my wife take a pic of me coming by the house at speed but all we got was a blur
