Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Got the panga out on the ocean again this past weekend. Lots of improvements over the summer while stuck inland. Added a second fuel tank and moved both under the two rear hatches. That gives me a...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Got everything settled and drove 8hrs to Destin. Fished all weekend and was super impressed. Ran 20miles offshore in 3-5s. It was wet, but not unbareable. Totalled over 70 miles that day and still...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

That's not a bad idea. I guess I can also just bolt it down. Honestly I don't see much purpose in it lifting up like that. I think id rather glass or all down and put two round deck hatches so I can...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Also installed my GPS/Sonar. I would like to get a better unit with a larger screen and sidescan or 3d scan, but I will wait for the price to come down. I did a shoot through hull with silicone caulk...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Got my leaning post set up, but still trying to figure out a way to screw it down since that hatch is there. Maybe I will just glass that panel down.

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Ill just have to hit the offshore spots on a calm day! The mpgs are crazy. That first day where I ran about 35 miles I only used 5.5 gallons. Not too bad! Here's a question for you panga owners. I...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

I guess that is a decent reason for him to cut those out. The trex is a little heavy (maybe 20lbs) total, but it works for now. I might change it later to a large hatch, but I will think it over. I...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

The Imemsa have those holes in the back and they have a raised lip that a removable cover sits on. This guy didn't like them so he cut the lips off. He just ended up doing a rough job. I'm pretty...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

The previous owner cut out these rear hatches for some reason and just covered them with a piece of ply wood. I had a few ideas about how to lay glass and use some nice plastic hatches, but I needed...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Trailered the boat an hour to a nearby lake. Handled really nice. Much better than the tandem axle. It seemed much easier to pull and easy to maneuver. Didn't drift at all and tracked straight behind...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

I mounted the leaf springs and axle today. Took a guess on the axle placement and ended up with a tongue weight of about 420lbs. This is above the 10-15% figure usually recommended, but is it enough...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

I asked the previous owner the same question. He said that the 25" was too long. Not sure how valid that is, but I guess it dont see any negative effects. Is there any good reason to remove it? I've...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Here is the trailer damage. First order of business is replacing all the rusted suspension components with new 3500lb axle, hubs, and suspension.

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

That sounds like a nice running boat. I'm looking forward to getting mine out with a full load and seeing how it does. When I was running it this past weekend I noticed that it was topping out around...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

-Hull: 800#
-Floor, Console: 300#
-Engine: 350#
-Fuel (24gal): 200#
-Gear: 200#
-Trailer: 1000#
-Total: 2850#

I figure the tongue would take a few...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Alright, well I found an Imemsa w22 for sale with a very low hour etc 90 and I bought it. I wanted a project, but this combo was much cheaper than I could have built one myself for. Its pretty bare...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

The more I look into it, I think coosa or marine ply is the way to go. Well I have a few leads on hulls. Hopefully I will turn this into a build thread soon!

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Running the numbers for composite decking:
1"x6"x16' Board -> ~$50 / ~40lbs
Planning for 14 Boards -> ~$700 / ~560lbs
I didn't find good specs for 1/2" boards, but I assume they would be about...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

I see what you are saying. I was thinking that I could get away with the thinner material because the gaps between the stringers would only be 18" or so max. I think that if I glassed the underside,...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

I will give him a call. It seems pretty tough to track down even just a bare hull for a reasonable price. I guess after shipping and import fees, there isn't much profit to be made there. After...

Re: Panga Importers/Builders

Ill give it a shot. It seems that avidmarine is only selling fully kitted out boats now. Any other options to just get a hull? Even without a deck
