I have a 2004 crownline 250 cr and we are having a hardt time riding it we love the boat up until we have to drive it the boat just feels unsteady and leans one side or another with very miniscule imput to steering wheel. And out trim tabs almost never can correct how the boat sits. Any ideas weve thought about new trim tabs larger in width or lenght or possibly both.but we are just sick of inviting geusts and even with a even load spread the boat wont cruise on a horizontal level. It makes our geusts and even us sometimes just downright uncomfortable. The boat is very top heavy and just creates a pain. Please any and all help is wanted. If needed further clarification on what I just typed fast then I can. This is also what I think to be a "steering problem" so I put it under this fourm if its not what you thought then im sorry but I just need help

Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard Trevor,..... It sounds like landlubers that can't find their sea-legs,.....

Boats, in general, are never flat, 'n level,.....

Yer playin' on the water, not dry ground,.....

Do you get on plane withtabs and lower unit down then motor up a bit and tabs all the way up? Then tabs down to correct. Ifyour tabs and motor too far up your nose will be digging in to much and will act as you describe. You typically only need enough tab to correct your list but if you keep puttting down to correct you end up nose down. Pull tabs up to correct and then the opposite side down a touch to finesse
