    Are the booms on the other boats mounted on the left also?

    The reason I asked is that the boat wants to go left with a lot of power on. The wedge amplifies this force. It would make sense to me to put the boom on the right with a right hand rotating prop.

    I have mine mounted on the left side so it balances the boat with driver on right and boom on left. I have been wanting to try it on the right to see if it makes any difference.
