What I was finding was running about 35-40 I would start to bring the drive up and all on a sudden the boat would make a hard right turn this also happened when I was coming off plane the boat made a hard right turn. Is there such thing as to much trim at that speed ?

J Curtis, A Velocity is a great boat and usually a safe boat. However you have a potentially dangerous problem. Bad things, in a performance boat, can happen very quickly.
You need a good marina to take a look at it and advise you One that is familiar with performance boats would be best.
Where about are you located? Hopefully some can direct you to a knowledgeable trusted shop.

There is a performance shop in that area, I cannot remember the name but the owner is Dave. Nice guy to deal with. Maybe somebody can help you out with the name of his shop.
Good Luck

The hard part is removing and installing the motor due to weight. Other then that its fairly easy. Remove inner plate, outer assembly, clean outer, install in reverse. Torque nuts to 23 ft lbs

If the budget allows it would be a good time to add external hydraulic steering. Boat will handle better and it will tighten up the steering at speed. Will make a big difference when you start adding more power.
