Default PT boats props: how did they rotate?

Did the outer props rotate counter and the center one clockwise, or something like that?

Maybe I'll build the PT18.

Thanks

So are you changing the props on the boat you built or are you planning on a new boat?

If it's for your old boat, nice build by the way, I think you're running nose heavy. It should sit a little more stern down at rest.

MTC YMMV
