My boat lists some in a crosswind which is easily overcome with the trim tabs. Other times I fish with a guy that is pretty big and he generally stands more out to the side of the boat, while I generally sit on the leaning post. Again fixed with the tabs.
As far as the speed, I tried a 14x19 prop with my two stroke 225 a long time ago and it really woke it up. I prefer the larger diameter prop sacrificing speed for a better ride with a 15x17. When I had my 200 Johnson, I think I had a 15x15. I think I would try a different prop. Who knows what the previous owner did to it.
