Default new boat, same problem

Well guys, here it is, the new boat. I WAS going to vacuum form the hull, I had everything made...molds, clamping devise and vacuum box. I did not have enough electricity coming into the house to make the heater hot enough to melt a piece of plastic 14" x 50" OH WELL!![&o] Anyway...the new boat has the same problem as the old boat...prop walk. The only difference is that the new one does it much WORSE[:@]. On the maiden voyage... everything was going and looking real good until I put her in the water, Got on plane real fast, and took a left turn with no help from me. I got her to go in a straight line by having the rudders turned all the way to the right. ( at full throttle ) ARGGGH !! WTH? I also tried a new prop, an 18 x 12 competition propeller. for some reason it has less thrust than the 18 x 10 prop. ????
