I currently have a Martec folding 2-blade prop on my P30 and am frustrating by the poor reverse performance. The previous owner provided a fixed 2-blade Michigan, but I want to consider an Indigo based on the positive feedback I read here.
Question: How much of a performance hit should I expect under sail with a 3-blade vs. a folding 2-blade? Is the reverse performance that much better? I'm on a mooring and don't use reverse too often, but certainly want it when I need it. Am I likely to see a marked improved in reverse if I switch to the fixed 2 blade?
Thanks in advance for any and all opinions.
