01 superjet 94 fx1 97 xp

I just purchased an 01 superjet about a week ago. I noticed that it tilts a bit to the right in the water. I'd say about 2 inches more than the left.
I figured it was due to some water being in the hull. I tested it today while the engine bay was completely dry and it still tilts a bit.
Any ideas?
It also filled with about 8 inches of water when I left it sit in the water tied to a dock for about an hour or so. These could be two separate problems.
I noticed that the hood doesn't seal down as snug as my fx-1 does. It takes very little pressure to clamp the hood latch down unlike the fx that seems like it squishes solidly for most of the 1 inch travel of the clamp.
Is there a way for the foam to get water logged on one side or another way for water to be trapped in the ski?
My fx-1 floats completely flat when the engine bay is dry.
Please help.
Thanks
Curt
