cmnuke,
Sorry to hear of your troubles. That is a strange one! I have run many 32 Tiaras and have never had this type of issue.
What power do you have? Crusader, Cummins, Volvo?
The handling characteristics you are describing could be caused by a trim tab, rudder alignment or shaft tunnel cover issues. I suppose, a broken stringer could cause enough hull flex to cause this issue as well, but I have never seen this on a Tiara.
My #1 guess would be the shaft tunnel cover on one side has come loose. When you are running at speed, water pressure pulls one corner down and causes the handling issues. When you slow down, the cover returns to its original place. Those covers are bonded to the hull with 3M 5200 I believe. They are also screwed, which is believe is mainly to hold the covers in place while the bonding agent cures. Have the covers looked at and see if they are loose or separating at the front edges.
Good Luck!
