My good friend had a Century Resorter (inboard) which was miserable to back up. When we would dock in Center Harbor or Wolfeboro, we would pull in straight and then get onto the dock and as he said do a "manual" reverse. We'd swing the boat around by the lines and tie up heading out. We never had to back out of a close-in spot, and saved a lot of grief trying to back out and use a boat hook to keep from hitting others on the way out.
