Does anyone have any knowledge or insight on this

Just came across this newly designed prop.

Accelerate faster. Handle better. Pump less gas.​

INTRODUCING: the 4-blade SHARROW PROPELLER™, Model MX-1. Accelerate faster. Handle better. Pump less gas.​

Never heard of it. Will have to see some reviews of it before saying Yay or Nay

I have yet to see any test data or reviews on it. some blog comments, however that is the extent of it.

Interesting to say the least. If it does live up to the claims, I also see it holding it's shape a lot easier as well with both the ends welded to the hub. We will see...

I like new innovation, just haven't heard of it. It may be the best thing ever invented.

Or a complete Flop.

I think the extra Drag imposed by the shape of the loop will result in lower top speed

If a car salesman mad those same claims, would you buy his car without driving it?

I'd suggest a friend buy one, and see how it works out. Then see what his prop shop charges to fix it. Looks to me it would trash the entire lower gear hsg with a solid strike.

That's a Risk any time you use a Stainless prop

Guess time will tell. Would like to see some real world tests along with a price.

Its pretty but if I had to take an educated guess the hole inbetween fins would cause a cavitation. This in turn would make the second set slip erratic. Like I said just a guess but I don't think this would live up to the hype.

I think I saw some sailboat sails in that sorta shape. Air and water do share some physical similarities, as evidenced by the common shape of airplane props and boat props. Whether this shape of prop will work well......

I would be interested in the test results...

 

[David Young]

Looks cool but I would have thought 'if' it was a good idea, it would have been out many years ago

 

[Chris1956]

Sorta looks like a pinwheel blade....they work in the wind..

Looks like it’s designed to reduce drag or vortex designed on the trailing edge.
Can imagine the prop repair guys face when you turn up with a dinked blade on this, haha.

I would like to see some more real world test by independent boaters.
