NEED ADVISE

[baja3]

I am looking for a sea worthy panga, new or used, 800 lbs or less, 18' to 22'. Will power it with a 60 hp 4 stroke Merc. The 4 stroke weighs 280 lbs, total weight boat and motor, must be less than 1050lbs. The weight is important becuase the bridge of a boat which it will serve is 15 ' above the water and the righting characteristics of that boat will not allow more weight. The primary use of the panga wil be to fish 4 persons in open water. (Sea Of Cortez) Don' t care about center console or floor, just a good old tiller fish killer. Any advise?

those 3 will give you a good idea of whats available and you can choose what one you think will serve you best

panga marine has an 18' Niente that is a bit fatter [same beam as their 22']
