How big is yours and do you illuminate it at night?

No comment on the taste of the owner, more a curiosity.

I understand why have contra-rotating props on each 'pair' but what would be the advantage of the middle two being a longer shaft version? Is it simply that the position of the prop follows the vee in the hull and is therefore the same distance from the trailing edge of the hull for all four or something more technical?

Purely curious.

One of our neighbours has done that to his boat. He seemed ever such a nice chap when he first arrived!

NO, nothing more "technical". You wouldn't want the middle two to be "sucking" against the bottom of the transom, would you? Being a deep "V" the middle two drives need to be long-shafts to keep all four props running in "clean" water.
