Dear David,
You asked to give you feedback on your propeller on my boat. This took a very long time, but I sent quite a long time on the boat of our son coming from Holland to Finland. So the experience with the new propeller needed some time. First and major thing is that the boat goes now steady, I do not need to steer to the left and right all the time. This adds quite a bit to the pleasure of boating. The engine runs smoothly, maybe I do not reach right to the top speed like with the old propeller, but that is not needed anyway. The new propeller gives excellent manouvering capability in harbour, stopping, reversing. About the consumption I do not have enough data to judge it. With the optimal revolution of 2600-2800 rpm, the speed is confortably 6,8 - 7,4 knots, which is fine and the consumption of the engine is low. As a summary, the new propeller was worth buying.
