Welcome to iboats.

What is powering your boat? Outboard, Inboard/outboard, inboard ????? How large of a motor?

Is this a new boat to you?

Is this a new thing for the boat?

inboard 3.0 and today was the first day i fave taken boat out. i have drove alot of boats and never experienced this problem. it seemed to help if i had the trim half way up if i put the trim dorn 3/4 to all the way down it would realy feel like it was tipping over to the left.

It's prop torque doing that to you (that's my bet). You have to adjust the trim based on the maneuver. You really should not flip but I have had a boat high enough on it's side to have the prop lose it's bite.

It has been discussed here quite a bit. Use the search function and seach for Boat Leaning and be prepared for tons of answers.

As BobVT said its normal. If you had a single Duoprop drive or counter rotating twins you wouldn't have that problem. But its the nature of the beast with a single screw drive.
I have an older boat and with 2 people in the back if I cut hard port i'll actually get some water in the boat. Comes right up over the back corner.
