every solas big diameter wheel ive ever ran runs 2-3 inches of pitch BIGGER than stamped..... and the SCORPION was faster than every bravo and other wheel tried on a scarab with a built 496 by over 7 mph... GREAT DEEP VEE WHEEL!!!!! and DO NOT adjust the blades to make them LOOK even... they are offset slightly for a reason....
4-16-2014. 25 years old today... the fishin boat doesnt look to bad for a classic does she

Today was the big day!!! the prop is incredible. More than I ever expected. The pitch was correct, not too stiff as I had thought it would be. Ran about 6 mph faster than my DENNIS and less RPM about 5400 RPM. Right for a 2.0 150 hp. unbelievable lift all around. See boat on my profile as pictures as I can't figure out how to upload them on here. check out the red cat. 3 stills. but I have to say that it runs on my cat . I heard they ran great on vees but they sure work on my cat. mercury prop guys better get on the ball to beat this knock off prop. almost ran 70 MPH today, faster than any mercury prop that i had tried.

Scropion prop
IM glad your mod scorp worked out im so blown away with mine im afraid to touch it. i have to drill pvs holes out because hole shot is a bit sluggish i did the math but it doesnt make sense. gps is good tach also only variable left is my 150 has 1.87 lower lu. i didnt think any thru-hub could top my worked DENNIS but this solas proved me wrong! im going to try a little more jack and see if she run solid 70 gained 10 mph going to a 2,4 mariner same prop i think i can get 80 out of it. any body out there with a 26 scorpion????
