Hey all, I am the final negotiations of my new boat for this season. I have never owned a Nautique yet, but its always been at the top of my list. My one last fear is the broken shaft problems that have seemed to only happen to the G boats. I know my local dealer had a few as recent as last year. Just driving along and prop drops to the bottom of the lake. That would be a major problem on a lake such as lake Powell where you can be 1 or 2 hour boat ride away from the nearest marina.
I have never even worried about this happening on any of my boats, but now in my research on the G23 it seems to come up a lot. Even my dealer admitted as recent as last year it was happening.
So my question is, has Natique made the necessary changes to put this fear of my to bed? Any circumstances of this happening with 2019 models? I cant imagine the nightmare of having that issue on a trip to Powell. Especially in a storm with 2-4 foot swells. Fighting white caps and rollers, if that shaft breaks and power is lost, that could spell disaster...Do i have a legit concern or is this all in the past. Silly but this is my last major holdup with the G...
Thanks in advance
