I also drilled 3/8" holes in it. Able to plane better but expected a bigger difference. Think 5/8 is probably the way to go.
Just drilled them with a hand drill. Was a piece of cake.

Hows the testing going with these props? im in the market for a new prop and having a hard time figuring out what performance these compare to? For example would a Scorpion S3 out perform a Trophy? So a 26 S3 vs 28 Trophy. what has better hole shot and mid range?

Wow... great thread. After reading all 8 pages, I'm hooked on trying one of these!
Any chance might someone have a LH available??? I have a Bravo 1, 26p, LH, on a 27' Fountain = (4900rpms @ 67mph)
Thanks!

Anyone try a Solas Rubex L4?
I'm looking at part # 9574-153-26 - Seems to be a large diameter 4 blade similar to the B1.
My question is... Should I get one to match my 26 pitch? or go down? - (Based the feedback from other scorpion users)
thx

I gotta say I LOVE this prop!!!! I had huge mph gains and it bow lifts like crazy. I tested pretty much everything under the sun last fall looking for the best lift and bite, did the merc favs, the evinrude standards, all versions of the raker, if it had rake and a good cup I tested it. I spun a 24p and managed to hit 72 in a sketchy furry. before that I was topped at 68. the 24 had me pulled down to far runnin 5100rpm. dealer didn't have a 23 in last fall so I just gave up. just added 4 more inches of setback and got me a 23 this weekend. water conditons were rough as **** but noticeable difference runnin at 45-50mph. I recommend this prop to everyone and anyone. its deff in a class of it own.

I purchased the #scorpion and really like it, I drilled 3/8 holes and the hole shot is great.
have anyone else noticed a different tone in the exhaust with the prop? I wondering if the exhaust is venting through the holes making it sound louder
im taking it in this week just to be certain nothing is loose.

I found the sound is very different. In my case I was wondering if something was off but it was not. wottz how close to the props ears were your drilled holes?

I have a Falcon F205 with 250 SHO came factory with a 24p Scorpion. I am running about 74 fully loaded at 5600 RPM. As I come up on the plate I start to get slip and cant get anymore out of the prop running higher than 2.5 PTP. Another guy with the same setup is turning a 27 pitch T1 6000 rpm ad 79 MPH. Is the T1 a better prop or do I just need to get the Scorpion worked. Right now it just has pilot holes. Should I get the pilots drilled out and try venting even with a SHO?
Thanks
