I've already admitted that I don't have a lot of experience with
outdrives, but I ran into something this morning with the Pro Line
that was fixed that may, or may not, be imagination.

I took the boat up to Webster Lake this morning to run it up for a
prospective buyer. Everything seems to work ok - boat is running
fine,nothing seems amiss, but I noticed something odd - or at least I
think it's odd.

When you cram the throttle for a hole shot, the boat rotates slightly
to starboard along it's bow/stern axis - almost like the torgue roll
you get with a high horsepower car. At least it feels like that to me
- it's not a violent movement by any means, but it feels funky.

It that normal? Just asking - I've never "felt" this before on other
outdrive boats I've tested or driven.

What year is this Pro LIne? Mine was a 1997 model 211 cuddy. I don't
recall anything like you're mentioning, but I don't recall ever
cramming the throttle either. Did you try this with different trim
settings?
