Anybody tried this?????

One way (from the factory) gives you more bow lift the other more transom lift. I've tried both ways didn't not much of a difference except the boat is harder to dock with them reversed.
Generally non stepped hulls do not benefit.
Try it anyway, if you have bravos you can just switch the props and run in reverse (careful docking). If you like it just swap cable sides on your shifters.

Some hulls will tend to chine walk when spinning "in". Test drive carefully and work up to WOT when trying different spins.

Generally speaking, turning in usually results in the best top-speed, but the boat becomes inherantly unstable when turning or running in the rough. Once the boat begins to lean to one side, the prop torque will want to continue leaning the boat outward.
Turning out, results in a more stable boat and the prop tourqe works to right the boat back to level.

Yes, I have tried turning my props inward on my 29' Outlaw. I gained 3/4 to 1 mph on the top end. The handling was certainly comprised at higher speeds. The boat was more suspectible to chine walking, but not terribly bad. I will be changing my shifter cables so that forward is forward and not reverse.
