I know this is a old post, but i currently have a 1990 Baja 320es with the 454's in them. How do you know how your props are running in or out? This boat does not like the rough water at all. I just bring my drives out a tinsy tad bit and put my tabs all the way down for the nose to ride in the water to cut the waves...BAd idea???? If i trim the boat out running around 3200 rpm's it just wants to bouce out of the water, even without bringin the drives out at all.....

If your RH prop is on the left drive you are spinning in.

Inside rotation: starboard prop prop turns CCW,
port turn CW
Outside, reverse of that.

Sounds like they are spinning in, the 320ES and 320 Force like mine are 2 different animals in ruff stuff, I almost never need the tabs at all, I use the drives to trim boat that a friend tought me to do, handles great but you need to learn the sweet spot at speeds for the hull, Any 32ft boat should do at least "OK" in ruff stuff, usually all in the driving of the boat, running too much tab and burying the n ose is not going to be a good ride either, you will be slamming the bow into the next wave, where do you boat at? I am on Lake Erie, one of the worst lakes for rough water, our waves are 4 ft high and 4 feet apart, kinda like square waves! makes for a rough ride in certain conditions..
If your RH prop is on the left drive you are spinning in.

I boat at LOTO (lake of the ozarks)
How do you tell which prop is RH?
Thanks for the tips....I will try playin with the trim a little more and leave my tabs up....
