What does anyone have anything to say about then. I see them hanging on a few boats out here. Do they increse the air flow down below? Worth the money?

Yes, they work as long as there is a breeze for them to catch. We use on when anchored out & this year added a fan so help pull the breeze the "windscoop" catches through the boat.

I've used both the Windscoop and West Marine's own version. IMHO the Windscoop is better - much easier to adjust to catch a changing wind and even in the lightest breezes will bring extra air in to the V-berth.
