They make a 22. I have one brand new in my garage I need to test. If it doesn’t work out I’ll post here. Ran a 23, felt it was closer to a 26 than 25.

What do you mean when you say it runs "stiff"?

It will be several weeks before I can try it. My boat needs a lot of venting. I run all 8 PVS holes open on my Bravo. I doubt the variable venting will be enough on the Scorpion. I'll be removing the rotating disks and open up the hole just a bit more but still keep the disk mount threaded hole.

I ordered the Scorpion from Overtons in Jan. I believe it was shipped directly from Solas (not sure), but it did take several weeks to get it.
As I expected, the variable venting isn't even close to being enough for my setup. I tried just removing the tunable disk and then finally die grinding the entire variable vent part away so all that was left were 3, 1" holes. This is still not enough. On hole shot it spins to about 2800 and slowly comes out of the water. I need about 4500 for a good holeshot.
I still haven't rung it out for top end. I don't get out enough and there has been a ton of boats out especially wake and surf boats. The 23" runs about about 50mph @ 4000 at part throttle so for a 23" it is very stiff. When get some good top end numbers I may send it off to get a set of PVS holes added to the 1" holes.

Thanks for the info. It looks like they have added 21 and 22 pitch sizes recently.
