Need advise on a vintage Pachanga??
 
I just found a 1970 Pachanga (well i found it last year but has taken this long to find the owner)... I know a little about the history of Pachanga...built for 3 yrs only 500 ect... This one is in OK shape...It looks like I may need to replace the seats and poss. the floor... The Gelcoat will need some buffing... It has a 350 with a merc. out drive ???... I'm looking for a winter project but this may be bigger than I want or need... I like the lines of the boat and have been told that it sounds great ...
:cool-smiley-026:
I'm looking for any advice you guy's have... Is this boat worth restoring ?? Is it too old to restore ?? can I get parts for the lower unit ??? I don't know what type it is ??? Where do I look for the type ??? ........should I just go and buy a canoe ??


Thanks,

I had a new 1970.It should have a 327 in it the outdrive is what they called a old merc II.Has almost a 2 :1 reduction. NO parts are around any more.Just glass the transom up and put in a bravo. The boat runs great in a little ruff waterIt was a very fun boat. JOHN
