The boat came with a 12"x12P fixed w-blade prop. We put the Gori on in May of last year I believe. With the 12x12 in reverse the stern walked hard to port.

During our 10 day stint in the islands in August we found that it just plain goes straight now. We were surprised but the Gori is a different style of propeller anyway and seems to operate exactly the same in forward or reverse.
