Props - spinning in or out?

I have a 311 formula. The props are spinning out. I have been told these boats handle better spinning in. What do you guys think?

Re: Props - spinning in or out?

Generally speaking, on most boats, spinning props out will yield the most stability, and spinning props in will net a slightly greater top speed, but you will sacrifice some stability and dock-handling manners.

Spinning out will provide greater stern lift, spinning in will provide greater bow lift.
