I did a little research on them and found that while their claims of more fuel efficient design MAY be true, you simply will never ever gain back the cost of the prop by the fuel savings. The cost of the prop is just too ridiculous (in excess of $5000.00 last time I looked) for the average boater to gain anything…heaven forbid you damage or hit a rock with it! The only place i see where it may be a benefit is for some commercial boater who spends all day every day on the water, the fuel savings MAY eventually be realized in that case…
