    I ran a 24P Scorpion but I could only turn it at 6000 rpm and 70 mph. Very good bow lift, and you could run the jack plate higher than most other props I tried at the time. The motor only had 2 hours on it and was not broken in, at that time I ran around 72 mph around 6250 - 6300 rpm with a 24P Bravo FS. If I would have ordered a 23P Scorpion I feel certain it would have ran as fast as the Bravo FS or faster. They run stiff like everyone says. For the money I think they perform very well if you order the correct pitch. After the motor was well broken in around 55 hours the 24 Bravo FS ran around 73 mph at 6450 rpm so it was on the soft limiter. A 24.5P or 25P Bravo would gain at least another 1 mph or more. My 24P ProMax has run 76 mph at 6350 rpm. I have a 300R on a 2020 heavy 24 ft Checkmate Pulsare.
