I have a 2000 javilin fish and ski with a 115 johnson. it just started to lean to the right real bad when i take off and start to trim out. it also does it when i trim down the skeg is straight and the motor is centered and the prop is good. any suggestions would be great.

Check the bearings for slack where motor pivots when turning. Is stearing pulling? Good Luck

Adjust the trim tab a little bit to starboard. Check your motor mount bolts.

Look at the boat when it is setting on the trailer. I had a boat that did this and .I had hit a log and broke a truss under the drivers seat in the frame of the boat. When it set on the trailer there was a depression in the fiberglass from the boat skid that was obvious. It always lead to the right even on plane but not as bad when going slow the pressure of the water was pushing the boat inward at speed.

Tell the fat chick to sit further to the left.  ( J/K) Check all the above and also see if it's waterlogged somehow. Far fetched, but I've seen it happen.
Now, Donald...please pick John Bolton for your running mate.

Stop parking it next to Jeep CJ's
they all lean, your boat is confused
it thinks its a Jeep.
Sorry couldn't help that.

just about every one who owns a Javilin has this problem,try hitting the trim as soon as you nail the throttle to get on plane,if you dont they will lean real bad to the right.Oldfrog does have a good idea,rearange your tackle or equipment in the boat to the left side(I DIDNT SAY FAT CHICK)it will help alittle.
