Check out this Pachanga

I'd rather have the 27 Pachanga with twin 350's. Below is a very nice one....not for sale as far as I know. That red was a real fader and chalky problem. Friend had to paint his. Not a very big cabin for a 32 either. There was some delamination issues with them also. 383's would make this 27 fly, Mike.

I've been looking for a P27 for a while and I just purchased the boat thats in this picture. She came out of Naples Maine. She is not as clean as she was in this picture, but hope to get her looking like this again very soon...
Will post some b/f and after pictures soon.

Very cool! There is one here on the river in PA this summer with a single 454.....I'd rather have the twins. Looking forward to your pictures and performance info, Mike.
 
i purchased a 1986 pachanga last fall rebuilt alpha 1 rebuilt 350 magnum, all upholestry redone, some minor hull marks iam repairing. this boat is flat out great, altho dreaming of a larger one
 
My number one favorite boat is a 32 Pachanga, Just beautiful boats.
 
it would be great to get a pachanga forum going, i know its been tried if you go back in the arcives. when i bought minewas told it would get over 60mph, had 2 props that came with the boat a 17 and 19 pitch, at wot with the 17 i could get 47 0r 48 with my gps with the 19 pitch i get around 51, called mercury marine they said no way with that engine will you get 60 suggest i try a 21 pitch it will increase my mph by maybe 3mph. with a alum prop and lower my rpms a little, but worried it might give me a slow hole shot. but sure do like the boat
 
I spent a lot of time on350 P22 back in the late 80's. Its a great handeling boat, and styling was ahead of its time too. However, they are not fast hull's (IMO). But they sure look fast and handle really well.

I hope to get some pictures posted of my 27 this weekend.
 
I wasn't able to get many pictures, but here's two just b/f putting her in the water on Friday and a few in the water.

I need to get one of the rear coushens re-done and look into getting a GPS unit. I grew up boating on the south shore of Long Island, and boating on the LI Sound feels a little challanging, than again, I have been off the water for 20 years.

That is a very nice looking P-32 and seems like a reasonable price too.

Unfortunately, my P-27 is up for sale. It is a fantastic boat and it's in great shape too (I think mine is cleaner then the P-32 list above IMO). We purchased a Sundancer last July, and as much as I love my P-27, the Sundancer is more practical for the boating we are doing.

The Pachanga's are great boats!

Spring is just around the corner. I'm sure someone with good taste in classic boats and a need for speed will take that 27 off your hands.

Good luck selling it.

Thanks. I have it posted on a few different Face Book Groups, and have a lot of positive comments, but no one scheduled to come see it. Hopefully it will go to a good home. Too bad I cant keep it, but I'm too neurotic to keep up with two boats.
