1969 Pachanga

[Bandit]

I'm looking at a stripped down 1969 Pachanga and have searched the internet for info but I haven't found much.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Lots of talk about them here a few years back.

There was a website http://www.boatclassics.com/pachanga but it is no longer working. Scott Pearson had one as did Gene D I believe. They might be able to help you.

My brother has a late sixties or early seventies Pachanga and is quite knowledgeable about them. What is it you would like to know and I can ask him next week when he gets back from his vacation in Florida. I wouldn’t doubt it if he had some original sales brochures and such.

I believe those pics might be a 1970 model with the single hatch and front rail.

This one is yellow, double hatch and it had a 351 ford alpha combination the last time it was ran in 1995. It still has the gauge panel in the middle, steering wheel, nice stereo and a foot throttle. The transom is solid and was replaced in 94-95 for the alpha drive. It's been in storage ever since and I just took a quick glance at it last weekend and I plan on checking it out again on Sat.

I found one like it at www.m5p.com:8000/boatbank/56559.htm (http://www.m5p.com:8000/boatbank/56559.htm)
I'm not to fancy with bring up these pics, so somebody else might try.

The guy was just going to give it to me to tow it off but I thought I would give him $500 for the boat and trailer and someday just make a project out of it.

Brad, if you get a chance ask your brother if he's got any of the old info.

I'll be looking for idea's on how to power it and any restro recommendations.

Thanks guys for the response.

Not far from OWEN. I have seen this one for sale before here. Is this a current offering or old I-net link? Looks nice. Same as the one that CONNIE RAY was given as a birthday gift some years back.

I knew a guy over in Paducah KY with a bright yellow one. A really nice boat. It had a 454 and jet drive. The only time I saw it on the water they were out for catfish just blow KY Dam :D

I could probably track him down if you need

Now that's a fishing vessel Rick!

This one has been around Lake Cumberland since the early 80's and now it sits in my driveway.

I took some pics and hope to get them scanned on here sometime soon.

I love those old Pachangas. A friend of the family had an I/O version that used to terrorize lake cumberland back in the late 70's early 80's. His was yellow also. I think it had a BB chevy in it though. NEAT BOAT! Bring it to the AOTH! :D
