Thanks,
If the motor goes to the right then the prop points to the left.
Just so I understand … there’s a rotational force acting on the boat that drags the right side of the hull down. To alleviate this we move the rotational force to the left of the fulcrum (keel) so it has less leverage on the right side of the hull. Do I have it?
Should I go back to a neutral (4 on either side) battery configuration? All the cells are on left side right now. I ask because the boat currently heels significantly to the left and wants to go left at low speed …. If I offset the prop to the left it will further aggravate the slow speed tracking.

I only mount the motor offset to compensate for propwalk, it will not counteract torque.
Your riding attitude issues are a result of too much power, this size (beam) hull simply can't counteract the increasing torque when you open the throttle.
You can steer out the tracking at low speed due to weight distribution, but, as I understand correctly, even all cells on one side doesn't compensate the torque issue, right?
