Does anyone know of other hybrid/combination props or know of anyone that used one, how it went?

The six blade prop at the top has three cleaver blades and three semi round ear blades.
The idea behind the semi-round ears is to help get the boat on plane quicker than six regular cleaver blades and then when running at speed the cleaver blades are about 3/4 of an inch longer then the semi-round ears and have less drag if the X deminsion is higher. The cleaver blades running at a higher level in relation to the other three blades will now act like a three blade cleaver ( supposedly ) to allow less blade drag at higher speeds.
