It does do that and for that reason, many competition boats have reverse rotation singles but it does add an extra expense if you need an engine.. That said, I'm not sure you need a competition boat.. A good Mercruiser or Volvo I/O with a 350 will be far more versatile.

I was originaly looking at bow riders with a v8. But the guy is asking 3000.00 for this boat and its in grest shape.
