Ken what are your thoughts on this new design from Sharrow Engineeering. Boat test did a video comparison and it did show some real benefits compared to the other props tested.

Always interesting with new props.
Numbers are a little odd with all the props as all 3 props are getting negative slip numbers at wide open.
Narration about Fuel economy is a little gimmicky, as I hate when they say, at "X" RPM we are 179% better fuel economy, as they are comparing a boat on plane and a boat that isn't.
But other then that, looks like it performs impressively well.
Looking at the design, I'm curious about how well it hooks up when surfaced, and the durability of the blades.
Most propeller companies have a hard enough time keeping the blades from cracking/slinging off the prop, and this one looks like a lot more blade surface with less contact with the hub.
I'd love to try one out.
