I have a Martec, which came with the boat. It works well enough that I haven't replaced it yet, but it seems the boat is somewhat underpowered. It doesn't have much power in reverse, but once you figure that out by hitting your first dock, use more throttle and its fine. It is low drag, so when sailing its great. If/when I do replace it, Flexofold seems good from the research I've done. On a previous boat I had a three blade Maxprop. It was great in all respects, except it tended to snag and collect stuff, fishing line, etc. That is a draw back to feathering props vs folding props. I've never snagged anything on the Martec, sailing in NY Harbor with plenty of debris.
