    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.

      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.

          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.

              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.

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

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

                    My salesman just sent me pictures daily during the build.

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

                            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.

                              I don’t have much issue when the ballast is empty. I don’t cruise much over 25 since it just sucks gas. I also don’t go very far so it’s not an issue. It’s acts a bit better then my g23 did overall.
