Lab Finshed. It was what came on the boat from Donzi as part of the Daytona Package.

what speeds you seeing? i have a best of 82 when it was new with labbed 28's that got stolen. The replacment set never saw eighty for some reason, musta been a good lab job on the first set.

mine spin in and while it was easier to handle with them spinning out, I can put my boat into or out of any spot i want, once you get used to it its no problem.

I have a 30 PowerQuest with the props spinning in and I am having a real hard time docking sometimes. Slow to respond.Sometimes I swear the boat just does the opposite of what I think it will do...

I've actually found it easier to dock on one many times

I had an 01' Daytona with 600 innovations spinning labbed 32's. Boat would run 86 everyday in freshwater. To this day I'm still amazed at how well that boat performed. But the downfall is certainly docking. They are very slow to react in reverse. Bumping the forward drive in and out whilst adding rpms to the rear direction drive worked very well.....but man the wind with those tall hull sides can really wreak havoc!

My 342 with both idling in spin mode. Forward side works better cause the prop is made to do that. It's not a wheel / tank track force is not equal, but a little rpm on the reverse side will even it out,
