best folding prop?

Thanks much. I''ll send an email directly to John. I sent an inquiry via their web site, with all the specs they should need for a sizing (shaft diameter, current prop specs, trans ratio, engine type and HP, boat dimensions and displacement) and got nothing back yet. I am just about to haul the boat and purchase a "spare" prop anyway and would like to consider this option, so I''m a bit impatient. Even the adjustable pitch feature alone is probably worth the freight, since I have had a fixation on optimally adjusting prop pitch ever since my powerboat days. A little over-pitch is OK IMHO, but my current prop seems too over-pitched, so I was going to buy another 3-blade fixed prop with slightly less pitch than current prop.

I may have posted the wrong web site for the owner at Kiwi Feathering Props. The correct one is:

http://www.kiwiprops.co.nz/
