      yes you need left and right hand props and flex cables, unless your running wire drives

          counter rotating inward props will make it alot easier to setup and get running properly and you need left and right hand wound flex cables other wise they will unwind

            Or as Scott said before you can use wire drives and not worry about cables shrinking, / unwinding etc.
            You can also swap a couple of motor wires and change from inward rotation to outward rotation in about 2 minutes.
            Depending on hull setup and your choice of running style, saw, oval or fun you get to choose.

            I do not have twin cat yet but have done a fair bit of research.
            Scott will help you and I'll point you to some others who know the game too.

            Enjoy.

                this is what you need http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...oct-oc150R-24c
                as far as props you can get octura left/right x442s, but you may want to try some cheaper carbon props first to get an idea
