I had a bad accident on my former 63' with its reversing props... their reaction time when you need to switch from fwd to reverse is terribly slow bringing the action need late to avoid the accident.
I had them eliminated during the building of my current 78' installin fixed ones. It gives more drag when sailing, (to avoid this, i keep engines running even while sailing) but at least, the responce while manouveing is in "real time"...
For what I know, over 25 Cheoy Lee 63 MS were built in spite of only three 78s. Strange that in spite of many owners moved from the CL 52 to the 63, almost none besides me, moved from the 63 to the 78...
