Older twin engine GBs have their shift and power levers reversed in position from the later ones (and most other similar types of boats). On our boat, the two shift levers are on the right and the power levers are on the left. This means that I can stand on the starboard side deck, or lean out the door, and the shifters are easy to reach for maneuvering. On a later GB, the shifters would be too far away and I'd have to step back into the cabin to move them.

I don't know when GB changed the arrangement to power on the right and shifters on trhe left, but I'm glad ours are the way they are. Sometimes older is better.
