Love the MaxProp for reliable power in both forward and reverse. A Martec Eliptic came with my boat and is reputed to have less drag but it would close when coasting along in neutral and a burst was needed to open it up for braking or thrusting forward. It also lost power when pushing thru chop.
The MaxProp is a good design, it's reliable and popular, but unchanged since 1972. Having assembled one, setting the pitch, and locking six cap screws with cotter keys, it could definitely be improved. There are other choices, and I'd spend the time and research all brands, before settling on one.

Once I get some sternway, everything is fine. It certainly doesn't back down like a solid prop, but I love the low drag properties.
