Anyone see this video yet? It says coming soon to recreational. Pretty impressive numbers in the test video.

Yes, I think designs like this will be industry standard in years to come. They've been testing similar designs in different applications such as wind turbines.
Any info on pricing? If they could price less than market, they would be a "disrupter"....
Repair?
Seems they are targeting the larger vessels - I've had a rash of bending props (twice in a year) - replacing a 27X30 may be out of the question.....It does say it's made of aluminum, so maybe the idea is to not bother with repairs past minor imperfections. The price will tell that story...
Anyone seen or have tried the Sharrow prop ?
It’s been a couple years now and not much on the internet. I am curious because I do 5 axis machining and they are as well ….. my machines are north of $175 an hour and there are tons of hours of machining in those props. So to even remotely make it affordable you would have to cast and polish but so many prop configurations the tooling wouldn’t make sense…. So to me they are in a tough manufacturing/cost problemI am just as curious, so your post prompted me to send them an email. I will let you know what I find out.

They are making an inboard version. Although it says min size is 27”.My boat neighbor, who also owns a 390DA, is acquainted with one of the Sparrow principles and keeps bugging them to have them use his boat for testing an inboard version.
