check for play in midsection, bushes or play in steering maybe you have air in it. any bolts loose?

you can break a chine by fighting with the steering, turning left to right but takes practice

Yes it will get worse until the boat flips, ask JBD as he almost turned my old boat over

My boat used to chine walk like a good one at anything over 5700RPM (standard 23 laser 2) unless it was mirror flat. I changed the prop for one I got off ebay (worked laser 2 22, now 22.5) and now its fine at WOT even in a short chop and I've seen 6750RPM.

So there ya go!!!
