Is it worth having the power lift then? Or do you operate in alot of shallow water?

In my case, the hydraulic Atlas Power Lift with a setback of 4" gives an advantage of a few kilometers per hour. But for me that's not the most imported. I'm very happy with a much more stable ride, hardly any to none chine walk, operates in shallow waters and uses less fuel at speeds above 80 km/hr. But I don't use it all the time, just when I need it.
Trim and lift are operated on the steering wheel, with 2 fingers on either side.
The prop is a Tempest Plus 23", labfinished by Mark Croxton USA.

MarkM - I assume it didn't come out of the factory like that? Who did the conversion work? Is that a cabin of storage at the front?

It was build to special order by Scorpion, see the original picture.
Later a hedge was put in.
I myself bought the Scorpion from Trefor Williams via this forum. Made a trip to the Ribex in 2005, put on a new engine, back seats and more alterations.
In the cabin we sleep during our trips, there is lots of room for 2 beds and a little toilet.
See: Scorpion slideshow by MarkMuld - Photobucket

(never used one) but quite a lot of movement there when the lifter is up and at WOT .. would have me a bit worried about transom loading, with all the vibration ? Wouldn't that cause some problems short to long terms ?

First of all, usual I don't drive the boat this hard. The movement is in the rubber absorption parts. The transom is 10 cm thick from half way down to the bottom.
I inspect the brackets, the power lift, transom, etc. every time I've used it and no problems whatsoever up to now after two years with the power lift mounted.
