Default Sceptre inboard engine rotation

I am in the process of a engine replacement/ rebuild and the question of engine rotation came up . Up to this point I haven’t given it much thought so it turns out I have a right hand (opposite )turning engine. Is this normal for a 1978 sceptre inboard or did somebody do a major alteration.
Thanks
Fred

I believe the Scepter Inboard's were all V drive boats and were all R H rotation.
I know of two that were like that. I am more in tune to the inboard configuration in the SF23 CC's that used the BW transmission's. FWIW
