Nautique Releases G23 Paragon

[Evening Shade]

Love the new design and fit and finish of the paragon but the new motor is really a over kill or need to fix something ,
on my paragon after 28 mph it starts to bob up and down in the front real bad to the point you have to slow down not sure why has any one else with a paragon experienced this

You are describing what's called porpoising. Some boats do this, but it can usually be remedied with ballast. Hopefully some P23 owners will chime in an tell you what they've done to combat this issue.

You have the ncrs plate in auto with no ballast when cruising like that?

My salesman just sent me pictures daily during the build.

How are you guys getting photos of your boats during production? From your dealer?

That was a pretty impressive top speed also wasn’t it? 43 seems to be moving pretty **** good for a boat that hefty

Like I said, N3 is fantastic to work with. The air dam is the only thing white on the boat and I couldn’t handle it. It’s a vinyl wrap done by the dealer.

Head to head Paragon drag race video finally finished. If the below link doesn’t work, check out N3 Boatworks YouTube page. They do a lot of interesting things like this from time to time. Great dealership to work with.

Motor comparison was nice, but I'm more interested in how you got a dark air dam? hahahaah that's awesome

I suspect he means that most C-clamps are 1 1/8" in diameter and you can't make it fit the 1 1/4 shaft. It is nothing that a grinder can't solve, and that is what I did to my old puller to make it fit. But you can't do that at the lake once you bust up your prop. I would also verify the length of the hub, as it may not fit if the hub is too long. That would suck.

It would. I will nonetheless run it down and report.

I took the proceeds from the sale of the spare prop for my G23 and paid the delta to get a spare prop for the Paragon (Acme 3563). I have my fingers crossed that it will fit in the cushioned "weekend saver bag/kit). It says the bag is good up to an 18" prop, but I can say that 17" prop in it had little room...

Update: The Acme 3563 does fit in the 1 1/4" weekend saver bag for those Paragon owners with a ZZ8. That is one big, twisted dinner plate... The weekend saver kit came with a harmonic puller (which I'm leary of). One of the employees at my dealer is telling me that the Paragon uses a different C-Clamp puller if I'm inclined to use one; I haven't verified this assertion yet.

Stay tuned. My dealer, N3 Boatworks in Indianapolis took mine which is the ZZ8 and their stock XR7 to compare side by side. Video should post any day. I wasn’t there but was told it took the XR7 off the line and beat it to 23.7 mph until PP took over. Both fully ballasted. I’ll let you know when video posts.

I think they posted the first installation of this feature, but not yet the video with the ZZ8 against the XR7...
