Add the weight of the driver on that side and it causes the boat to list to the right/starboard side will underway on a plane. Ask me how I know, LOL!
But get a Sceptre with a "hook" on the bottom and it will counter that affect. My dad's '82 would list to port without using tabs running a right-hand engine.
