Default RE: Clear finish over wood

Help... I went for the maiden voyage this weekend and DID NOT have good results. Most of my problem is it is hooking on the turns and then spins out - Straight line performance not bad - maybe 20 mph with a little pourposing then you go to turn not much rudder response and then -spin - I slowed my throw and was able to do a few gentler turns / power slides . I should point out - moved the engine back then forward without much help. maybe I shouldn't have strayed from the ol flatbottom.
SOOOOOooooooo Disapointed - such a pretty boat and it runs so ho hum. At least its stable - not even close to flipping.
Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks
