Both drives got new propshafts and reversed the lower gears to run on the other face.
Had a great weekend running around but of course I couldn`t get a way scott free.
On the bright side the prop wasn`t damaged

Also the P420 is my new favorite boat.I wish I could afford one.

Dang man, that stinks on the damage. I’m assuming there was a good amount of debris in the water being it’s April?

Also, great photos! Boat looks good there!

Good to hear, hopefully no more issues with that!

Also was fun seeing your photo in the p420, everyone looked like they were having fun. Your comment is saying something there because for one you have an impressive cat, and you have been in a lot of cat’s from what I gather. That one you were in my kids say was built with their school colors in mind because their school is white/blue & gold haha.

We have that issue here (NH) every year. I call them boat bombs. I wait a min of a month after our lake unfreezes. Amazing what washes up on shore on shore in that time. Here is a pic I took few weeks ago this year 3 days after ice pulled away from town beach near me. This crap was at the shore line , not up on beach itself, when ice pulled back. It’s like that every year.

Sounds like a great match to the school colors , when do you wanna pick it up?
I got a ride on a P360 2 years ago and the Cig was up for sale the next week lol. The P420 takes it to another level.
On Lake Michigan I`d have to pick my days in a P360. The P420 would be great for 90% of the days IMOP.
At 105mph Brett is having a conversation with 3 people in the front and took can take his hands off the wheel. I like it a lot . Would have to be red/black thou.



SB, that is a lot of junk for sure.

The P420 is not like the 390X. After seeing the large 72" tunnel up front and the tiny opening in the back I understand why the 390X is the most blown over cat ever.
Terrible and dangerous design IMOP.
Nortech tunnel is so much bigger
