Malibu 23LSV unstable when running over 30mph

I have a 2015 23 LSV and noticed that when I have 6-8 adults in the boat that it is unstable once you reach 30mph. Usually have 2 people up front and have tried filling the front tanks but the bow still sways and is unstable. Any ideas?

Sorry for the confusion. By unstable I mean that the boat feels “loose” and the bow does not stay steady once I get to 30 mph. It only happens when I have more than 6 adults in the boat. When I’m running with just me, my wife, and 3 kids I don’t have this issue. Thanks for the replies everyone. I’ve had the boat for two years and has always done this.

Patient:  It hurts when I do this. 

Doctor:  Don't do that. 

Do you have a trim tab on your rudder?  You can adjust it so you get some right pull at speed to help keep it from hunting.

The prop might be part of the issue. I’ve been playing around with a higher torque prop 2247 and feel it’s worse at higher speeds than the 2277.
