well from what i heard from neighbor left, neighbor right's boat has a problem.

i haven't been out there to see, but what i hear is, when he jumps on the throttle the hull is torqued over to the side.

this is a gas boat, motor is upgraded. i'm guessing 50".

my educated guess is too much prop?
 
Sometimes a 2-blade props will make a boat steer different and give it prop walk turning the boat to the right.

Limited information to give a bunch of advice. Type of boat etc?

A dull prop, the strut not being offset to the right 1/4" or the strut height is too low. Sometimes going to a smaller prop will help to figure what's wrong. the longer the strut stinger is, the higher it has to go. Variables there include whether or not it's a shallow or deep-Vee hull.
