2021 Prestige 420S - TEST DRIVE looking at speed & fuel consumption with Dan Jones

[@captcav767]

Gotta say Dan, I'm very happy that Prestige are running a traditional shafts on this boat. Yeah you lose a bit in top end speed, but man, it's so much better than having pods or drives in the water all the time with the gearboxes corroding. If you plan on having this boat for a long time and doing the Syd > Nelson Bay trip, or to Pitwater, it will treat you well in the servicing side of things long term!

Loved the videos on the 420! When are you going to upload your video discussing the Cummins joystick? How much different is it from using IPS around the dock?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Oh good to hear thanks! When i've edited it. I wasn't expecting to be filming so many boats in my first year so still catching up on all the editing as i work full time too. Thanks for the patience and i'll try get it up over the summer holidays

Great to see the Cummins with shafts replace the old Volvo ips

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Yeah i really liked this set up. It's nosier than IPS and turning circle is wider but i love the torque from the big props and just feels more old-school which i like. That variable thruster with joystick is really great tech.
