I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

And nice snag on the prop price. Let us know how it runs please.
And if you want to play with it you have an idea how to give it a little trimming if you think the full 15 1/8" dia. is more then you need.
Another option after running it, if you want more rpm, might be to just try reducing the amount of cupping first and see how that works. I don't think I am done playing with mine yet and that's something I was thinking about.Last edited by dnelson964; 08-11-2015 at 08:49 AM.

Following for sure! I'm glad to see others giving them a try, you can buy two for the price of a Merc prop... None of which have worked as well as the Scorpion on my rig. Very interested to see how the mods pan out. For your reference I have the same motor as yours, a 2003 OX66 250 with a HPDI lower unit that I did a "lower" water P/U mod to. Checkmate Pulsare2100br. Currently running 85 mph at 6000 rpm with just me in it. Stock 27" Scorpion with pvs holes in it. Funny thing the boat runs 83.5 mph full of fuel and four people at 5900rpm. I have not had much time to really string it out with just me in it so there may be more there. Running 16" of setback 1.75" over the pad, runs out of psi long before bite.

Having a few T1's 29's that are faster then my Scorpion, hold bow as well and are 14.75" dia., I had the confidence that by simply reducing the dia. a touch would give me more RPM, easier to turn up to add speed hence my first tweak. Just food for thought.
This scorpion is not my fastest prop by any means yet but I love its lift and weight carry as noted. I would Like to see how fast it can be made to run and still hold the weight carry for a good all around prop.
Now....If I can next spin this 28 'mod' Scorpion of mine up to @ 6100rpm it should pass my best top speed of my T-1's and that will be awesome !Last edited by dnelson964; 08-11-2015 at 06:33 PM.

I have never seen the prop you speak of. Old or new? I don't know if a 24 pitch has same heavy cupping added as a new 28 pitch. If you read from the beginning you will see why I came to say add 2.5 " to pitch. It's from my actually experience and the prop being scanned. There may well be some exceptions.
