Default Left vs. Right & Yami v. 'Rudes

Hello Guys-

I am shopping for a new outboard, unfortunately [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] . And I am wondering if anyone has thoughts on whether a left handed prop and drive (designed for twin use) would be any less up to the task when used as a single.

Yamaha has stopped making their 225 EFI 2 stroke, but there is a dealer in FLA who has some left hand drives in stock. I have heard that these sometimes may be softer than their right hand counterparts.

Any input would be super.

And while I am on it, does anyone have any experience with the new Ficht engines by Bombardier yet. I hear good things about them... Would anyone be uncomfortable buying one now? Yami or 'Rude?????

Thanks, Hooper
