    Now that we have a boat, I'm starting on a list of upgrades I'd like
    to make. One of the items I'm considering is a folding or a
    feathering prop. Has anyone seen or heard a performance comparison of
    the two or have experience with one or the other or both? I'm leaning
    toward feathering, such as the Max-Prop or AutoStream, but I'm going
    to do a lot more research before committing that kind of money. I've
    also heard people say they wouldn't spend that kind of money, just let
    the prop free-wheel under sail to reduce drag and I've heard others
    say a free-wheeling prop will ruin the transmission over time. Any
    comments would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Patrick
