Solas Scorpion Prop Changes
I've seen several positive posts on the Solas Scorpion S3 prop. I bought a new one this year and it has some differences compared to older versions.
The new version has the variable vent system, not the small vent locating holes. Also, the new version has a 7-1/2" long barrel with a slight flare. The old one has a barrel about 1/2" shorter with no flare.
On the left is a 23" I bought early this year. On the right is a 24" that I've had for a while. They have the same model number on the barrel. I've removed the variable venting on the 23" and fully opened up the 1" holes. I have not run the 24" yet. I'm not sure I will be able to get out of the hole with the tiny vent holes.
It would seem like the shorter non-flared barrel of the older version would be preferred for more bow lift.
Anyway, I hope this helps if anyone is considering purchasing a new or used one.
