No, it is a 4 seater, has a little baby cubby on it. I have only seen one in person. I remember it like it was yesterday. We were just pulling our Pachanga 22 out of the water, and we saw a boat being towed in. At that time, the biggest rivalry on the river was with Checkmates and the Pachangas. The 19 honesty looks very Checkmatish. I said to my step dad "Haha, that sucks, silly Checkmate". He turned and told me that everything breaks, its just the way of life and to not make fun, it may be us next time. The it got close enough to see the Pachanga emblem on the side. My heart sank and I have never let that lesson escape me. When I had to get my Nordic towed in a couple weeks ago, I remembered that lesson very very well.

Wow! That's very small! I bet it hauls Balls though! You could fly all over the place in that thing with a small block! I started shopping for Pachangas last July. I was lucky to find the One I got as close as I did, but even luckier to get it for the price I got it for. I could pour another 4 grand into this thing and still be able to break even at low market prices. Now..if I can find someone to build me a 550/600 horse motor over the Winter for 4 g's I might just do it! (That's a combination of Denial, Deductive Reasoning, and Obsession!)
