Old design been around for years.....good design, some lack decent storage.....Most tend to be lighter, which can make for a fun ride in some slop....I like them, but what boat don't I like....

They look like decent boats to me except that they seem to be fairly skinny, not a lot of beam.

I FISHED OOUT OF ONE DOWN IN COSTA RICA A WHILE BACK AND THEY ARE A REALLY ROOMIER THAN MOST BOATS, WIDE OPEN AND REALLY WET IN SEAS OVER 2-3" VERY STABLE WHEN DRIFTING AND MOVE RIGHT ALONG WITH A 90 JOHNSON, ABOUT 35 MPH . THIS WAS ON A 20' BOAT.

I fish a Panga most everyday I find it to be the dryest ride I have fished? they are smooth rideing in the nasty stuff . Not alot of storage for foo foo things but on the avg day I have 4 fishing and most bring foo foo things we allways find some where for it. My boat is older and may be a bit lighter than the new boats. The fishability is awsome in these boats and the price is as good . You can get a demo 18 rigged to the max right now for under 17,000.

how would you rate a panga compared to a Kenner 19' I find the Kenner has a dry ride also and smooth in rough waters .
