Boat list to starboard side---no water in tanks --no water in hull--also sits on lift the same way. Appears it must be heavier on this side. Repair people say motor is offset 1 inch to starboard side and there is more bracing , cables etc. on starboard side. Anyone have an ideas why it might be doing this? Just bought this boat.

The helm and all associated likely puts a bit more weight on the starboard side however the right rotation of the prop should offset that, are you seeing a list while underway also?
Motor should be aligned with the shaft which should be in the center of the boat, did they check the alignment?

Not true on prop, originally likely was fitted with a 4 blade however certain size 3 blades would be a good alternative for your boat depending on use. See if you can read any numbers on the prop to determine what size/pitch it actually is. If slight list while underway with just a driver that could be normal particularly if the driver is heavier in weight otherwise sounds like you have a weight problem, ballast as mentioned or is there maybe some hidden lead or something.
