Yeah, that's how I justified to myself was by saying "thank goodness I am a mechanic and can do all my own work" =) The 27 or 32 pachangas are nice, but the hull efficiency on the heat is much much better. It is a single step hull, and surprisingly only weighs 4900lbs. The single engine makes...

Well gents and ladies, I am in the process of selling my Pachanga. My wife wanted something larger, I wanted something faster. So I bought a new boat. I bought a Nordic Heat 28' with a Mercury Racing 500EFI, Bravo1X outdrive, trim tabs, hydraulic steering and all. Enjoying it very much so far...

Pachanga owners like to show them off I have noticed :) This is the first one I have owned, but my parents had the same boat when I was a teenager, only difference was blue versus red :) Only issue I have had was neglect on the POs part. Too much salt and not enough maintenance, but I took...

I know it is my boat and I can do as I please, but I do take the opinions of those such as you fine fellows into account, so I will have to see how I feel when I get home. Thanks a lot guys!

Thanks guys for all input. I think all the tinkering with the ideas of changing things up is the boredom and the longing for home :( No matter what though the windshield is getting done for sure :) There are a few spots on the hull that bother me and I want to have them fixed up. The chrome on...

Hey guys. I know this is not going to appeal to a lot of you. I am toying with the idea of getting some work done on the appearance of the Pachanga. I love the offshore look, but cant afford the offshore boat. The Pachanga is about as close as I am going to get anytime soon. Here is a picture...

Wow, you aint kidding, that would be a money puller for sure! Ah, where are the plans for my time machine?

^^ Tis true :( Oh how I wish to run into an original 426 Hemi Cuda in a barn somewhere lol.

Two Pachangas, one thread about classics. I think that means we are in ;)

^^^Classic^^^ (IMO at least)

I have one that I use for my Pachanga, can be a bit hard to install alone, but when it is up, it works great. Keep the temp down. I never use it when underway at all though.

You can rent my Pachanga if you want while I am in Iraq for the year. :) Wont be cheap though lol.

Right now I voted for the everything but fiberglass work. Not because I cant, but because I have never tried it :) When I get home I will try that out.

Agree with the above, try a wet test and see what the numbers look like then.

Wow, people are ignorant. Glad no one was hurt, too bad Boat Numero Uno captain didnt spontaneously burst into flames, but karma will get him.
