Thanks for the add.
Just bought this nice 2006 1800SR 4.3.
Been to the lake already. Great boat!
Only thing is it needs a lot of steering input at no-wake speed.

Welcome, nice looking boat!
That's normal, rear of boat wants to go faster than front.

Yeah, seems that way. My old outboard didn't do this...

You're old outboard was an anomaly.

No, I think it was the hull design. This boat is practically flat across the back. The old one was a tri hull and the hull shapes came all the way though the transom, so there was less inclination to wander at the ass end.
