The design on many propellers includes a cup on the blade's trailing edge. This cupping or curved lip on the blade edge lets the prop grab the water more efficiently.
Getting a better bite on the water reduces ventilation, slipping, and often allows for a better hole shot too.
Cupping works very well where the motor can be trimmed, positioning the propeller near the water's surface.
