I think there is one nearby me that was for sale. It had the 454/alpha with low hours and trailer. I think 9k would buy it. Ill have to see if its around still.

 

That sounds perfect.

 

Good luck if you find one,, I had an '87 with the big block and bravo,,,It was a great boat for me. The boat ran about 64 mph all day long, and you could even hold a drink in your hand at that speed. Wfe and I spent 9 days on it one summer cruising the Chesapeake bay,, It was tight,, but we made it work. I miss my Pachanga alot,, but alas,,, we simply needed more room. In '97 ( i think) I sold mine for 13K and it was in MINT condition, surgically clean. I'd think they are about 9K or so now.

 

Talk him down..

SEA RAY PACHANGA 22 1987
new 350 mag, new upper drive, 2003 Performance trlr, blue, wht, clean, Lake George boat, $11000 Queensbury, NY (518) 656-9214 (518) 321-4682

 

It sounds like you had what I want. My uncle had one before me moved up to 27' Fountain Fever. I've been looking on-line, and the prices range from $9000 to $17000. I just thought someone here might know of one that isn't listed on-line.

 

our local cops have one as enforcement...all tricked out with cop tires, cop motor, cop suspension.

Cop lightbar looks cool as well. Think they have a 454 in it and reached 65, by the time the 23 coat of cop paint was put on

 

I think my next boat might verywell be a 22, or 27 pachanga.

Us too. Went from our P22 to a 27 Fountain. Sure miss the Pachanga. They were ahead of their time. Mine was the Blue scheme w/ 350/ Alpha.

Brother in-laws '86, 454 Alpha completely repainted usng the Advantage Poker Run boat from a couple yrs ago as the design. New interior. Last yr he was looking right around $17k for it. Still has it though. I personnely like the factory graphics.

 

Check out our 2002 pokerrun video here= http://www.vancouverpokerrun.com
22 Pachanga with 454 ,going a little too fast in to this freighter's wake :winker: . Randy probably soiled his pants while in the air :laugher: .I was riding the other side of the freighter no prob ,because the better balance of my V-drive :lick: .Great little boats ,but I would opt for the 27 pachanga myself.

 

That first blue boat you see in the video... is that Mirage or a Pachanga22?? Great video. I love it when you guys post links, I can't get to the videos on speedwake.

 

454Magachanga ,the 22 Pachanga is in the photo gallery under 2002 pokerrun . Did you check that out ?

There's another video with some good shots at the 2004 Sidney [ vancouver island b.c ] pokerrun at
www.saibrfest.com . I'm waiting for this year's video to come out . There might be some running shots of my boat and my buddy's 22 Pachanga with a brand new 383 stroker [ not the 377] from mercruiser .He's a merc rep in Seattle and he's got production # 1 of this model engine to try in his changa .
Here's Bubba's McDonald's special :laugher:

 

454Magachanga , The first boat you see in the video is a 257 [ 25'] Mirage like mine .

This is my Mirage at this years Sidney pokerrun.

 

Is this the same boat?

 

Mirage257, I did see the 2002 pokerun pics you mentioned. Man the Mirage and Pachanga hull look very similar to me. Great looking boat man. I'd like to see some more close ups of "Bubba's McDonalds" changa to see his bimini set up. Would like to get one done, but want to make sure it will fit under cockpit cover. I'll check out the other site you posted for video. I'd love to see more video of Pachangas. I want to see if anyone elses goes "nose straight up" like mine at take off with some people in the back. Probably should follow the pachanga prop thread and get a 4 blade.

 

Can any other Pachanga owners out tell me what the depth of the swim platform is from underneath? I own a Pachanga, but I don't pick it up for a few weeks, and I'm trying order a new swim ladder, Aqua Step.

Ordinarily I'd just wait until I pickup the boat, but I'm not going to be home very long and I'd like to have the ladder waiting for me.

Thanks in advance.

 

Guys , go to www.nwoffshore.com . Bubba [ 'bubbagump' ] has some pictures there in the gallery section somewhere ,showing his a canopy on his pachanga . Travis , it looks like a washington reg on your picture ,so it must be Bubba's boat. He bought it from powerboat northwest in Tacoma .

That looks like a 19 to me. Before anyone says there aint one,

Yes , there's a 19' Pachanga model , but Bubba wouldn't fit in the 19'er cuddy ,if you know what I mean :laugher: . He's a big guy making that 22 Pachanga look small ,hehe.

I've got Bravo 1 props , and a good holeshot. However ,without any trim in and tabs ,can do a wheelie like this >

No, that's not a 19, if you look very closely and strain your eyes, you can see the II after Pachanga.

I'm pretty sure it is the same boat. I copied that picture from Boat Trader in Jan or Feb. It was for sale in Washington State.

I swear it feels like the nose of the boat is going to come back over my head. Is this normal for a 22 Pachanga Alpha one with 454?? Not bad with just two people in the boat. Guess I'll just have to hammer the throttle a little more.
