Since I dont know where to post this .....
I've seen many race boats rigged with center steering and have always wondered how this helps in a circle boat . I guess my point is , I dont see it helping . Maybe in drag boat , but circles ???
Someone want to enlighten me on this .

Less distance to travel when getting thrown? ;D I think I'd like being on the left, but don't have any reasoning to back it up, personal preference maybe? ???

I remember my saguaro would catch air and since I weigh less than the boat , I dont see my weight being a huge factor in handling . Not to mention the turns . I haven't see a v-drive rigged like that .

i did this in my raspberry....though it only lasted 3 laps, i loved it and i plan on doing this in my new project. I didnt do it in the crazy eights because it was doubling as a lake boat and wanted a second seat for rides.
the reason i like center steering is youre on the keel...keeps the weight center.....when the boat starts rocking side to side from the cross wake of your previous lap, you dont feel it....the boat rocks around you rather then you bouncing with the boat and even more bouncing off balance.
and the reason you wont see a v-drive set up this way is because they have no keel.....flat bottom boats wont rock side to side like a v-bottom

What about the GN's :P
