My '94 27 also had a lefty. was told it counters the motor torque for a more level ride.

Seems like most of the single engine Fountains I've seen had lefty props.

thanks for all the input folks.the only reason i was interested in a rt hand prop is that i have a pachanga22 that is rt hand .just wanted the flexabiality.hey 99fever27,lets hook up and check out those props.that would be great.know what you mean about the weather/boating lately.

Finally got to try a my 24Hydro lefty today. I wasnt impressed. I lost cruise speed, hole shot and overall handeling wasnt as good as the 26bravo right. Didnt really do any wot runs but I dont think it was there either.
