I've never experimented with it. I ran a planing sporty that had same rot props due to a gear problem. Really could not tell much of a difference, other than it felt a little "weird" maneuvering. I never ran it with CR props, so could not compare directly.

On a trawler it is much lower hp/ton, so it would probably be undetectible.

Just make provisions when designing the install that it would not be a huge deal to swap out with 630's in case it ends up bothering you.

Just remember that all single screw boat props spin only one way!!! And plenty of those out there doing just fine.
