Driveability issues

[Lit549]

Hope this is good place to post this..Took my 87 4-winns 19ft boat out yesterday..Its new used boat i just boight..What it does is when im accelerating and i try to turn to left (with it trimmed all the way down),it just rolls on its side and feels like its gonna roll over,it wont turn unless i throttle it or its trimmed up on plane..When it up on plane it handles perfect..Turn to right is normal either way..Any ideas?

If half of the wheel on your car was broken off, would it work good? Neither dose a boat! You need a new prop.
