Default turning problems.

Hello everybody i recently finished my first boat. It is about 25 inches long and it has an O.S 18 CVR-MX. I just drove it today and was impressed with the acceleration and speed. I am running it with and octura X438 prop and an outura surface drive setup. I have a couple questions about this boat and was wondering if anyone could healp me. first and foremost i had a problem with the turning. the boat only seems to turn to the right and not much to the left at all. I have two turning fins on the boat that I made myself, they are 1inch wide and 2 inches deep. Could these be restricting the turning. also when i punch it it seems to get up to speed FAST but once it is on plane for a second it slows down. what could that be?


Thank you
