Had an '88 32 Pachanga w'454/330's. Was a quick boat for what it was back in it's day. Ran low 60's with a fairly comfortable ride and one hell of a great cabin. Had it for many years, ran over 500 hours on it, and enjoyed every minute with it. Moved on to the Velocity when I felt the need for more speed, then to the Fountains for more of the same plus the better ride and handling. The Pac was a great boat, still miss that cushy cabin.

In their day they would hold their own with most out there with equal power. Sea Ray just got out of what they felt was a small market segment. They did bring it back a few years ago, it was just a
Sea Ray 'ised version of a Baja hull, Brunswick family cross over deal. Never did much of anything.

Dont want to steal this thread bu I have a 1990 260 OV that I was told has the same bottom as a pachanga. It is heavy but rides like a caddy & the overall design is cool

What do you mean the bottom was replaced 3 time the fiberglass or do you mean the lower ends? I just picked up a 88 pachanga 32 and it seems to be a great boat just not so smooth in real big waves.

My friend has owned a 27 for 10 years 550hp single runs mid-60's any day and rides well for it's length. I believe they were wood free construction, at least the transom. Certainly would consider one, roomy for a 27.

Slowmo the post you are quoting is 12 years old.
