It's not really new, been around for several years now. There have been a few sponsored tests, where it outperformed the wrong prop on a test boat, but not much in the way of real setups.

At $4K+, it would need to offer some serious improvements. Also, hope you don't damage it, although they'll do some repairs under warranty, it will probably end your boating season if it happens after July 4th with the lead times.
Total cost was $4,999 when I just looked.

The stats they provide are oddly specific, such as "46% increased efficiency on X engine at X RPM," and make me wonder what happens on either side of that RPM.

For NH boaters, I have to think the ROI (in terms of efficiency) would be impossible to meet given the length of ownership and use.
