Nice rig. What are you replacing it with ? ;?

Simply stunning!

Thanks!

gm3car1 - Unfortunately, I have decided to be truly happy I am going to need two boats. My passion is chasing tarpon on the fly. Where I live that means covering a lot of ground by poling and trolling all day and making long open water runs. So I am looking to find a used Egret 167 or Maverick Master Angler 17. However, I wouldn’t turn my nose up the right technical poling skiff. With this trade I will have my tarpon skiff and in 5yrs or so (as soon as I can financially do it) buy a 23 or 26 Andros for the family boat.

What about this boat doesn't fit what your looking for, too slow with the 60? I would guess good shallow water performance and decent running in a chop, just maybe too slow. Great looking boat and nice price.

Ryan H - The speed is a little part but not the reason I am selling. If speed was the only reason I would keep the boat and repower in a couple more years. The biggest reason is poling. I have issues staying on fish (without trolling motor help) when the wind kicks up more than 15mph or so the bow catches the wind. I am thinking of guiding in a couple years and have to have something that I can work a school of spooking poon and feed a fly to them when the wind is blowing hard without the trolling motor help.....Thanks for compliment and you are correct it does have good shallow water ability and handles the chop great.

I bet that bow does catch some wind, good luck with the sale

got my regulator sold and looking for something like this. what is the performance on the f60. thx john

Oorah - with 1 person and gear i can get 30 - 31mph WOT. 2 or 3 people i run 25-28mph @ 5000 - 5500 rpm in just about any conditions. 4 people 22-25. If your a speed demon or fish 4 people most of the time this probally is not the boat for you.

Fuel consumption - I dont have a flow meter so i kept track over about 30 hrs of use and it averaged 2.1gph

Super Clean Boat! What is Max HP?

Super Clean Boat! What is Max HP?

Thanks, 115 (for what its worth its max hp was 90 when I purchased the boat)

Love this boat!!


Be sure and post it up at PangaForum.com

Bump for a cool looking rig!

2.1 GPH at between 22 and 30 mph depending on load, that INSANE economy, I am really liking this boat

Thanks Ryan. Rember the gph I calculated was an average of ALL use for aprrox 30 hrs so it includes idiling, but 2.1gph is still great economy even with idiling factored in.

Just curious if the this boat sold?

That is impressive for an 18' boat. 5' gulf seas can rock most boats pretty hard tuning it into a wet ride.

ebg18t - I was very impressed with how the boat handle it! I would feel very safe any seas 6' or less.

Nice looking panga meng. I'd buy that bad boy if I was in the market.

Boat is sold!
