Piling on to Jim's point, 7' beam and 24' long is a skinny boat. Somewhere (I searched and didn't find yet, but maybe Conquistador's thread?) around here we have the original ads for the Martini/Corsa 26. The boat is in a turn in one pic, and is heeled WAY over. Like, bikini-model-spilling-out-of-her-top over. I'm thinking that maybe what was experienced here was PERHAPS pretty normal for hull geometry like this.
That said, I have no experience running without a skeg. And as much as I've been in boats that heeled over in turns, it never felt uncomfortable. Which makes me wonder if what was experienced here takes it up a level or two.
Last of all, I'd think that prop torque would make this feel far sketchier leaning left than right. Curious if you noticed any difference there, and apologies in advance if I missed it in the thread.
