I'm told this is a common problem with my hull design. My boat tips side to side considerably more than other boats the same size while cruising. I have to continually use steering and trim tabs unless seas are calm. has anyone had this problem and found ways to minimize the roll.

Deep v-hull , this is typical, also the 2359 sits pretty high. you will sway side to side but its a safe ride, kinda a like a cork. takes a bit to get used to.

Nope, just a zodiak. This is a problem with this model of trophy, I have spoken with other owners. Unfortunately, none of them had found a fix.

If you are running light yes it is a characteristic of the 2359, 8.5 beam. It's worse when light and you have people moving around as you are trying to pilot the boat. I try to keep all my heavy stuff as far forward as possible such as extra downrigger balls. As mentioned before keep your load low don't add wait above the cabin unless absolutely necessary. If it's really bad you could go to large tabs for a little more ridgid control. Best option keep your weight forward and centered as much as possible. Keeping tabs down all the way entering the marina will help with wandering as well.

We have a 2005 and you do know right away if someone is moving around. Using some trim helps. It seems to be more of an issue on the models with a single prop. We have a B lll and it tracks much better. We really enjoy our 2359, you will too.
