There was a great prop comparison in Yachting Monthly <http://www.yachtingmonthly.com/gear/folding-and-feathering-propeller-test-29807>, comparing the different props. Our boat, Kaylarah, has a 3-blade Flex-O-Fold which came our very well in the comparison. It was near the top in most categories and was considerably less expensive than the Max-Prop. Be very careful selecting a prop for the 37+. The boat was delivered with two different transmission ratios which dramatically change the pitch requirement of the prop. The previous owner ordered the wrong pitch so I had to replace the blades at a cost of $1K.
