Not sure. Think about just getting used to it. The hull is so sharp that it will have a strong tendency to lean in turns. There are some considerable advantages to that tendency. For sure, in the I/0 versions (mine), the hull never feels unstable. In a very tight turn, it will lay over so far that it can spin, but never in a way that feels out of control. Its a very odd feeling for the boat to be doing something that usually means it is out of control (spinning) and still be in perfect control. I always warn new passengers about the lean, but hardly notice it myself. Lean or not, the boat always feels solid, capable of running through anything the weather can throw at it.

The boat likes weight forward. I wonder if something like a hydo shield would provide move lift in the stern and positively affect handling in ways other than lean?
