Twin Screws and dual taps

How do the twin screws work? can you reverse one and not the other to turn it on a dime?

From the looks of this photo and what I remember it has a gear shift (left levers) and throttle(right levers), so it appears you can independently shift each prop to forward and reverse.

Twin Screws.. and Twin WakePlates

I saw that thing, and it is huge!

I also was on the platform of the blue supra, and shifted my weight up and down, and the transom of the boat was flexing at the mounting point for the platform. I can see why people have such a problem with them spider cracking at the mounting point. The fiberglass is just way to thin there.

I did really like the wakesetter they had there. Very good looking boat, and I thing the BU's out classed all the Mastercrafts. The MC with the zero flex tower even had spider cracks in the hull where the tower was mounted. i think that is bad for a boat on display at a boat show.

I did not spend much time at the CC display, as i would just want to replace my SANTE with a 211 if I did. Besides I can just go to the dealer and look at them on their private lake.
