Throttles on the left is odd. Every boat I've owned and every boat I will own going forward will have throttles on the right.

My Gladiator is on the left, and after I got use to it, I wouldn't go back. Especially in the Gladiator, it just seems so natural and is extremely comfortable as well.

Agree with you for once!

I got used to it quick, With the side by side bolsters its nice to throttle while wife drives.

Draw back is wife has a tendency to move them wide open when I'm trying to just cruise.

Reggie told me a few years back it was for "unrestricted arm movement".......I sat in a 28 Velocity today with the throttle on the right and my arm was so bound up it was awful.......

my first two boats had right hand throttles.......didnt take very long to get used to them on the left
