I built a CLC boat that had the sam problem. After I was sure it is the boat I began taping a larger and larger pad of duct tape on to the aft end until I had just enough to keep the boat straight. I then made a duplicate out of wood, feathered out and glued it on. It worked really well and was noticable only when I pointed it out.
