With as many rehab projects as I see on some of the forums, I would not be surprised at all if there weren't someone into doing the glass repairs and in love with Pachangas. I think that they are really cool boats, but have no experience with glass stuff. Seems like I have seen dozens of projects where guys are seperating the decks and hulls, replacing stringers, installing new transoms and totally rebuilding boats. I think I would spend a little time advertising, find that Pachanga fan possibly, then as a last resort offer the parts and saw up the hull. Not that it is going to bring bigger $$ (most likely less or even I would guess) but no wrenching and the boat isn't going to a landfill. MY.02...Good Luck either way. Looks like it was a pretty cool rig prior to it's unfolding.

 

Thats a BUMMER!

RS- I think you are right!

 

Why not call the insurance company and explain to them you may have hit something...and see if the will fit the bill?

 

I didn't think calling the insurance people would be a good idea. Too many people knew about it the next day (small town). Plus, with the size of the damage, if I had hit something the outdrive would have shown damage.

I really hope someone is looking for a steal. It was an awesome boat once I had it dialed in. It really bums me out everyday.

 

uch1: sad to see....I think I'll inspect my hull when I get home from work tonight :confused1

 

Do that for sure! I spent a lot of time researching delamination after it happened and discovered the Sea Ray had a real issue with Pachanga hulls.

 

Just curious what are you gouing to do with the boat ?

 

I replied to your other post, but it is stored and staying there until someone wants it. It's time to move on and be as patient as possible...

 

still needs a new home!

 

that's the 3rd one i have seen do this,my buddy had one with a 540 in it and the exact same thing happened,we saw the bottom come out from under the boat @ 80 mph..the other was one saw sitting @ Chicago searay years ago..Seems to be a common problem..

 

I should mention that trades for boats 17'-21' are an option. Unload one of your boats and get a nice project boat!

 

boat has been sold

 

What did you get for it?

 

not much!

 

You should of let me part it out for you.

 

Levie17,
I just noticed that you are in Bemus Point. I remember seeing your Pachanga on the lake. I am in Lakewood and have the 280 Velocity. Was your Pachanga the one Shane Conlan once owned?

 

That wasn't Conlan's boat, I bought that one in Syracuse. Your Velocity is sweet!

 

Thanks!

If you see me this summer, give a shout.
