Thanks, Jim

If you ever tried a RH prop on one, you'd see why. They just don't like them due to the torque reaction. Why just these particular models? Reggie never was a real fan of single engine boats and thus didn't have much experience in designing them. If you ever looked at the bottom of one of his little 24CS models, you'd quickly realize that it wasn't even one of his bottom designs. (The ran RH props BTW.)

We already debated the subject in this thread. Apparently, also single engine Fountains aren't all created equal.
But still, I can't see why I never heard of that with any other builder.
Because Reggie lacked experience on singles?
Mmm... Powerboat named the 27 boat of the year for 2 years in a row already in the early nineties, as I recall.
Oh, and the torque reaction argument doesn't hold water, too.
Since the crankshaft rotates CCW (when seen from the stern), if anything it should make the boat list to stbd.
Therefore, a L/H prop can only increase, and not reduce the crankshaft torque effect.

There are actually many single engine deep V's that like LH props.
I believe we have a used 22 LH Q4 as well.
