The original Sailnet poster was very unhappy with their J Prop. Here is a link to that discussion. http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/224938-pros-cons-folding-propellers-avoid-j-props.html There are variables that might make one prop someone's favorite while another user might have a completely different opinion. Maine Sail really disliked his Flex-O-Fold while many people including me loved it. His complaint was primarily vibration which he stated in another thread on Sailboatowners. The diameter of the prop shaft, the distance the shaft extends past the strut and the prop to hull clearance could have contributed to his discontent. There are so many variables that it's difficult to say definitely which prop would work best on any given boat unless you are comparing identical boats.
