There is no heeling upon the acceleration with the 25 seacraft. I've found with mine that if you trim the motor up properly it handles better and you dont have to mess with the trim tabs very much. If you dont trim the motor up properly it has a tendency to bow steer a little. As Conner stated it takes a little more getting used to then other boats but they are a very seaworty boat. I added a dole fin to my boat which helped add some medial/lateral stability and reduced sensitivity to people moving about on the boat. Conner and I are both running volvo duo props.
