[C320-list] Flex-O-Fold specs?

[wdoc1 at aol.com]

Doug-
I'm shopping for a feathering or folding prop as well. I couldn't find the Flex-O-Fold rep but was totally overwhelmed with information at the boat show in Annapolis....Gori, Max-Prop, Vari-fold, Vari-profile, Autostream, etc. After reading reviews (see *below) I'm leaning towards the Flex-O-Fold. I submitted an information request through the Darglow website. See **below for response.
Best regards,

All,

Anyone running a Flex-O-Fold on their C320 with a 3GM engine? Looking for the specs of your prop.

A slip neighbor is selling one and I'm trying to determine if it is the right size. It's a FlexOFold 16x12x1, RH

Thanks in advance!
