Prop Drag :folder vs Max
I repowered my Ranger 33 with a 20 HP Diesel, and am now selecting a prop. The choice is between a Martec 2 blade folder, or a 2 blade feathering Max Prop. I understand the Max prop is excellent in reverse, but has more drag under sail. We do club race. Extra power in reverse is a good thing, but I wonder if the drag differential between the two props is significant, and might tend to hurt light air performance.
Any input would be appreciated.
