We own a 1995 Beneteau 321 and are thinking of changing the three bladed fixed prop to a KIWI prop. Any one in Beneteau Land who can comment on the KIWI Prop? Thank you

I went from a two bladed fixed to a Kiwiprop. Sailing is better, motoring speed seems about the same. Backing no opinion I just kinda drift backwards out of my slip. Kiwi goofed up the order and sent be the wrong handed prop but corrected the problem very quickly with no fuss at all. So on a technical level seems to work, on a customer service level they seem downright good.
We went with a 3 blade maxprop
We have a Beneteau 321 2000 MY and went with a maxprop 3 blade. We had a 3 blade fixed prop on the boat prior. The maxprop is great. Increased speed, easy backing up, low maintenance, and less wear on the transmission. I am very happy with it.
Campbell sailor 3 blade prop is the best all around prop, drag is reduced by about 80% when sailing, no moving parts to service, same motoring speeds, and at least half the cost of anything else.
Currently my boat is out of the water at Canoe Cove Marina, drop by to have a look at it.
