[C38] Propeller upgrade?

[Max Soto]

Patrick, I use it a lot to get into my slip, but luckily for me, the propwalk pulls the boat on the right direction for me (port).  If I had a LH prop, it will be very hard to play against the tide into my slip, since the stern will be going to starboard.   
With the Max prop I just get less prop walk, but I still have some. 
In some cases, like close calls at unfamiliar marinas) I wished I have no prop walk at all   😁
 Sometimes is very useful.  Sometimes not!!

Regards,
Max Soto

I have the original Universal 5424 engine and was wondering if there's any reason to upgrade the propeller. I'm mostly a day sailor but San Francisco Bay is usually very windy with lots of current and chop etc.
