Phragle, Rattle Snake Jake was having an issue with his boat some years back. Swapping rotation did help, but not enough. In fact, it created a little too much bow lift. Having labbed props sent from various vendors did not work out so well.
My theory was that his props needed more ventilation, so I made one for him - with lots of direction from Dr Loof Lirpa - and it worked tremdously well.
As you know, he no longer has that single engine Formula, so you may want to contact him to see if you can borrow, and if works well, purchase it from him.
Here's a link to a pic of it. Warning: don't try to duplicate yourself as location, size, and # of ventilation holes are very critical !
