// I like the docking capability of a twin for sure.. Forgot about that.. I just spear mine in at 1 knot or so sometinmes if i have too. It really does not want to trun left in reverse period. On windy day's you only really get one shot at docking a single.. It's hard but doable

My 27 was the same way. It would just crab walk straight backwards in reverse even with the wheel cranked to full lock, but the other direction it would spin within it's own footprint. Never could figure that out.

Yep, what SDFever said.
I guess you both guys were spinning a LH prop, right?
When reversing, a LH prop spins clockwise, "pulling" the stern to stbd. This contrast the effect of the wheel steered to port, eventually making the boat go more or less straight.
When turning to port in reverse, the two effects work jointly - that's why the boat spins within it's own footprint.
You can improve the steering to port in reverse of a single LH prop boat by fully lowering the port flap and fully raising the other one, but that makes the whole maneuver a bit hairy.
With a RH prop, the effects are all the same, just the other way round.

Kind of like our old direct drive ski boats that I grew up on.

No SB2's, sorry. Just ex Evernham Nationwide Dodges. I have more than I need, email me if you can stomach putting a Dodge in your Chevy Might surprise you how cheap I'd sell them

Shoot me an email if you have interest so we can be respectful and this thread can stay on topic...

I'm leaving today to race at Infineon for the weekend so might take me a day or so to get back to you. But Blackberry email is the shiznit!
