Mine are turnung in. I dont like the handle around the docks. IT PLAIN SUCKS. I used to be able to put my Tiger in a 43' spot. Now I need the whole damned dock not to embarress myself and look like a first time boater.

Believe it or not, once you get the hang of it, it handles pretty niceley around the dock.

Im hoping that is the case. One factor that I think is also effecting the handling and backing is the steps in the hull themselves. This is my first stepped hull and while backing it doesnt track very straight.

Don,t get me wrong. After coming out of a Topgun, it was a horror show at first. But, after playing with it and getting used to it, it really is not that bad. It reacts differently than a traditional twin-screw boat, but it reacts.

P.S. Otis, isn,t your Glad side by side setup? If so, why not turn props out. I always thought turning in was better for the staggered setup.

Don,t waste your time .A Topgun with Bravos runs just fine turning out.
