You guys are hurting my feelings.  I worked with boats for 20 years, and we
changed props over and over trying to get the best top end, and water ski
too.  If I add pitch, I will reduce the climb performance and increase the
cruse performance. And vise versa.

The variable pitch prop performs these tasks. And adds a     great deal of
weight.

With $1600 I could have two props. One for climb and another for cruse!
Please take up a collection and donate for the cause.  Just kidding.
