32' Pachanga..
 

What are our collective thoughts on this boat?

Good shape..dry..no trailer..twin 454's.I believs she is a 90-91.Not positive as it is green and white and me thinks those are 88-89.Good cabin and cockpit.NO real big stuff to be done..Give me a ballpark...I have a number in mind but wanna hit it right. :drink:

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

I worked at a Sea Ray dealership for 10 years and always liked the P32. Nice boat.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

If it's a salt water Florida boat, I'd say 18-22k ???

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

I would say 25 or so. They are heavy and need all the power they can get but are solid and have nice lines. Check the wood on the seat backs. This is a sore spot for SR from 86 to 90, if it was not covered this will be rotted. If the price is right it will be worth it. 25 would be for a very clean unit.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Honestly, I was thinkin 20k....needs a trailer...maybe he doesn't need this much boat.Ya never know.I'd like to be in the teens.Guy also has a houseboat right next to it on blocks.I'm tryin to size him up so I lay out my cards correctly.

Apparently they go between 20-40k for the varying conditions.I've seen them twin SB and BB.They have what I want>good cabin and sleek.Not to worried about speed.It would be a play boat anyways.AC-genset- big stereo-comfy and quick.I'm not to concerned with replacing a few peices of wood...pretty simple stuff.

Go for it Shore! Where's it located?

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Some of them had big blocks and Alphas, becareful with that combo.

I have always loved those Pachangas!

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Beat me to it - BBC+Alpha=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on a regular basis.... wonder what genius came up with that idea? :rolleyes:

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Yup, Some do......But once again.This is for fun not speed.There in lies my other question.How well would a pair of 5.7's push that thing..For a 32 it is rather large is stature.

Cuda, it is about 1/4 mile down the road from my house.Nova rd and US1 right by Rose Bay.I drive by it everyday...Kinda wondering what's his position on it.I see nothing in his driveway that will even pull it.The guy had in the past a few larger items for sale in the yard...this looks to be the next.
I need to go pick his brain..

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

That combo was only offered for one year, 1987 only. Your right, they were horrible.

The Bravo was introduced in 1988 and was mated to the lower hp big blocks (330/365)

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

I was thinking that 89 was the last year for the Pachanga. Maybe I am wrong. It has happened before. :D

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Be carefull of 32's pachangas with big blocks in them. They are know to have weak stringers. My buddy has an 89 with 500HPs he hasn't had a problem yet but he goes real real easy on the sticks getting on plane.

Boat does have a ton of room that is for sure.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

91 was the last year of the Pachanga. In 92 Sea Ray came out with the 31SS and the 38SS which were more of a sport cruiser.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

The Pachanga 32 was made from 1987-1991 as far as I can remember all 1987 and most 1988 had Alpha drives. I had a 1988 with alpha drives. In addition to the wood support for the rear bench seat also check out the area of the cockpit floor that is removable to gain access to the fuel tank, Sea Ray used right angle brackets to hold the wooden rear seat support in place that led to water soaking into the wooden core of the fuel tank floor area

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

How much does this boat weigh? My dad has been eyeing one for a while that he can get for 20k. He is a big Sea Ray fan and this would get him to go-fast world. A 32P would look good on his lift instead of, or in addition to the crusier. Plus...... I could borrow it if I needed to. Nothing better than a back up when your boat is broke.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Wasn't it "G-Force" here on the board that had a couple of the P32's? Is he still around?

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Today there was a clean 02 F150 small lift 4wd ext for $9800 right in front of it.I'm gonna have to find out what is goin on there.
I have ahd floor problems with rotting wood so I think I could make a good call on how dry this boat is.Stringers/transom problems scare me.I won't touch one with those problems.

When I approach the $25 mark it opens up a whole new crop of boats available...someone on here I believe has a '90 31'ish Donzi for that kinda money.

If I can snatch this one for say mid-upper teens I think it would be a good gamble.I'm gonna go grab some nice Digital pic for you guy to chew over..

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Yep, G-Force is still around and his 32P is running well. I'm guessing he'll visit this thread before too long ;)

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

I have a nice 87 Sea Ray Pachanga for sale, it does have the 454 with Alpha combo. Never had a problem with the drives and the power. Always been easy on it though. Red and orange combo with an arch.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Nauti, you definitly have a nice P32...Very clean and well kept appearing.The problem I have is your way up north.... :(

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Oh come on Shorg, it is only a 18 hour drive one way or $125 plane ticket. I have guy that going to drive down from Canada and take a look and go for a cruise.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Let us know how the canada guy goes.If he buys or not.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

(chanting) Love my Pachanga....love my Pachanga.... :D

It's a GREAT boat - haven't heard any complaints from any fellow P32 owners.
Mine is a '88 - came with the 365hp/Alpha combo....never had any prblems with the drives but I did change over to Bravos when I put the 502's in.
Ran 55mph all day long with the 365hp engines....handles really well. It's a solid, solid, SOLID boat. Plenty of room in the engine compartment....just wait till you see the exhaust SR put in those things!
Of course the one you're looking at is green - UGH - the green on the Pachanga is the worse color out of them all. That should get you a $5k price reduction right there.... :D

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

G--- get a hair cut :D :D or did you :)...

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

HELL NO! I'm actually letting it ALL grow.....now people confuse me with WWE wrestlers! :D

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Just a note about the BBC/Alpha combo. My old marine mechanic had that combo in a big heavy 26 Pursuit fish boat. Last time I talked to him, they had over 3000 hours on the drive with only routine maintanence. I told him that was probably due to the fact he kept outdrive oil in it, instead of saltwater.

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

My P-22' has a foam core transom, never gonna rot!

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

i just picked up a p32 and so for i love it :D

Re: 32' Pachanga..
 

Don't forget Envision, same boat. There was one on the classifieds here, might still be there. Looks like they started making a 36 as well. The 32 is gone from the ads but the 36 is still there if you want to see what a 36 Pachanga would look like.
