Default RE: HELP.....WOULD DIMPLES (LIKE A GOLF BALL) IN THE PROPELLER INPROVE EFFICIENCY??????????

Not to be discouraging, but given the ease of making molds with different dimple patterns with a CNC setup, and given there are folks with same giving prop efficiency some thought, I wonder why, if dimples, or trippers, or invigorators, or whatever will work, why is such a prop not on the market?

Maybe they have just never gotten around to it.
