Funny I thought it would be strange and now I wouldn't want anything but left hand controls.

I do the same thing when backing up. I'll standing the middle facing rearwards and drive it like a bulldozer. So much easier for me to do this way. May look odd, but better than scraping FG.

It took me zero seconds to get use to the left hand controls. My new cruiser has them on the rt side, I don't care for them there at all.

I know how you feel when I drive my other boat or my buddies it just feels wrong. I'am on the right side of everything else but this the onething & It's left side all the way.
