Default On inboards and outboards..

Real inboarders have single screw boats.




I think the most difficult boat to back into a slip are the older, single
screw Penn Yan inboards with the "tunnel drive" hull design. I am not
sure, but I think because the prop was half enclosed by the tunnel shape of
the hull, it made the boat extremely difficult to predictably back down,
relying on prop walk to move the stern over. Add a little wind or current
and it became almost impossible.
