I thought 2010 was the last year Sea Ray made the Pachanga ;) I wonder how many sold with the 496HO?

Probably not many. High Priced boat in a bad new boat sales climate. My dealer that has 5 or 6 locations in the NC,SC,GA region did not even consider ordering one. I have seen a couple priced close to 100K online (new stock) but have no idea what people could actually buy one for. I still wonder who won the giveaway Pachanga back in 09 or 10. Seems like they would have come around here bragging. Come to think of it, I dont recall seeing anyone on CSR yet with a new model Pachanga.
 
Starting a boat price at 80 plus thousand and have it depreciate 30% when I drive away would explain why they arent to many new pachanga's out on the water. worked on the boat a little. cut the pad deck and attached it for fine tuning.

then i decided I wanted LED's so I took the backrest off to drill a small hole for an axes point for wires.

you mean the 24' Baja:grin: flop. Don't even get me started on the "imposter" Pachanga....okay too late I'm started :lol: IMO Sea Ray didn't have a clue what the heck they were doing with that boat. took a baja hull, threw a fat heavy deck on it, then coupled the 496HO with a bravo 3? result was a way overinflated price tag of $100k for a 22' "performance" boat that would only run 65mph and looked like a bloated whale. Seriously I'd be in the 80 mph range with that same power (using a proper bravo XR of course), and mine is a 25 year older design! $100k can buy faster...and more of it for that matter. there is one good thing that came from that boat though....It made me love mine even more:grin:

C'mon, deep down inside you really loved it!
 
Mine is a 1987 with 454 mag and Bravo One. I had to replace the outdrive 4 years ago. It still has the original one piece windshield. It is a great boat.
 
here's another picture of mine this weekend. I was the fastest on the lake. you should have seen the look on the guys face when I passed his 27foot Baja 502 fuely like he was tide to a stump. I love my sea ray p22.

Mine is a 2009 with 375 dts. She is an annaversary edition trailor and all. Rides great, tops out at 65mph and it bumps against the rev limiter.
