Which way is everyone spinning the props on the 320, still in or does the boat handle better spinning out?

If I spin my blades out it settles the boat down alot and I loose a little up top but it is much more stable,also I do not use the Hydromotives unless I just want the acceleration and not the best all around performance.

My props are a left hand rotating and a right hand rotating, Does that mean I'm running one in and one out?

Just wanted to share a thought about the "R&D" comments. You two(R.E. and Hyper) have done some things on the 320 to "settle it down" and do deserve credit for it. As far as Velocity not doing the homework on the 320 I am a bit confused. I don't know of any 320 that came out of the factory with big power in it???? I feel the 320 has done everything that they were intended to do with the stock Merc. or Volvo Penta power they left the factory with. Again, I am not trying to stir the pot!!!!

VV, It will take patience on your end with the higher speeds. From what I hear you will need seat time. And last but not least what works for their 320 and driving style may not work for your 320 and driving style. Good Luck!

As they should be! Looking at the tops of the props, would they both spin out or would they both spin in towards each other?

Yes, I need seat time without my wife screaming and slapping the back of my head and pointing at the speedo, I should have never installed the passenger speedo.

I have the patience of Jobe and injoy trying different stuff even if it doesn't work.

I kinda sorta agree with you on the power from the factory. They no better to slap 1200 hp in a boat and sell it to anyone.

I'm not out there doing donuts and acting crazy trying to spin out, If I go fast I go straight. I'll get it figured out. I'v learned so much just being here with you guys and thanks for sticking with me while I'm learning the ropes. I'm probably older than most here but I'm still a pup when it comes to this stuff.

Now if I wanted to experiment with them out just swap them, Or would that make me go backwards really fast?
