28’ hull. What is the beam?
Could the hull’s aspect ratio be extreme?
I notice the above poster experiences high speed turning is w “minimal lean”. I’ve observed a small irregularity that I think is small areas of the bottom corners that have a small down-turn of the hull.
If so that would make a low aspect ratio boat that usually does turns on plane w a rather flat attitude (minimal lean) turn even flatter. It’s certainly predictable and normal for the type and perhaps even more prone to turn w a flat attitude w a bit of hook in the hull corners. Because the outboard hull corners may likely be out of the water whereas the inboard corners would be well submerged.
