Hi there,
I've finally pulled the trigger on a Angler Panga 26 with a 225 mercaha.
I was looking for a long time for a boat that would fit my need which are very special.
I actually Commute by boat everyday, I have to be able to go to work no matter the weather, so I had to find a boat which could handle the rough stuff, and being in the Florida Keys, I was also looking for very shallow draft to be able to go in the back country.
Originally I was looking into buying a Cat, but after looking at Arlon's posts and other posts, I was intrigued by the Pangler, so I sea trialed one the day after christmas, and Signed the check right there and then. Sweet ride, and a very nice price compared to cats.
I'll have it ready next week, I can't wait........javascript:add(
Since I use the boat everyday, I added bottom paint, T-Top enclosure, a second battery and bildge pump, Garmin 3210 with XM etc.....
Any special things I need to consider with the engine, it will be my first 4 strokes.
So thanks guys for your posts, you've made my decision much easier.
