I have only see 2 older speed type boats with the wheel on the left.

Actually I was watching a video of some mini jet boats built from kits that had the controls on the left

I enjoy looking at those old boats. There is a unique one for sale a couple of towns over from me. Fins on the back like a 57 chevy. I will have to dig up a photo of it.

The last one I seen also had headlights built into the bow. Also it just occured to me I've never seen a stick steer boat with controls on the starboard side.

They made some awesome looking old boats back in the day. They looked like they were fly even when sitting still

There I a ChrisCraft cruiser loaded with mahogany at one of the Marinas I shoot docks at. They made works of art that floated.
