The Pachanga was the epitome of the "floating Camaro" of it's day. They
were haphazardly assembled for the most part it seems, and sold on their
outward appearance and some of SeaRay's laurels. My personal experience is
associated with a particular Pachanga down on Oneida lake back in about 1989
or 1990 that separated at the seam coming down off of some chop at an angle.
The cabin flooded and everything inside was soaked. Onlookers were in
disbelief... as was the owner and the insurance company.

If you want more input on this, call Peter Eaves at Great Lakes Boat Repair
down in Sodus. He has repaired his share of Pachangas (so they could be
sold, I'm sure).

We sold our boat last year and now suffering withdrawls. I've been looking
at
the next one and like the looks of those ole Pachangas. What would be any
faults or handling issues they may have? I'm thinking maybe a 27' with
twin 350
mercs. Any hull problems? And why would such a good looking boat not still
be
manufactured by Sea Ray.
Thanks
