Given that as an option, I would peen the trailing edge of the hull on the same side where the lean is...Will essentially do the same thing without hurting the efficiency of the boat. If the Boat is riveted, you can adjust quite a bit along that trailing edge if you have a hammer and a decent sized masonry chisel.

I had to have mine "tweaked" by the manufacturer using this process to deal with a porpoise. They "wedged" my hull right at the back edge to bring the bow down just a touch so it wouldn't porpoise.

Lots of things you can do with aluminum.
