You need to replace the turn fin as it's allowing the right sponson to lift making the left one dig in. Aquacraft makes the Grimracer turn fin for the Miss Vegas but it's made for the Pro Boat hydro's also.
In the meantime you're going to have to make wider turns.

Check the alignment on your turn fin by taking a straight edge and hold it on the turn fin to make sure it is parallel with the boat

Theyre not parallel to the boat, they lean in about 3 degrees...

"They"???????? Do you have more than one turn fin on your boat?

I believe he was saying they're to talk about hydro turn fins in general, as in they all are angled in...

I thought the OP had posted that. And yes they do curve inward (tuck), but they are still parallel to the bottom of the boat...

no 1 fin on the right side and 1 rudder. yes it follows the lines of the boat.
