Maybe not 6 foot but those panga style hulls handle some serious waves.

I need to find some of those 120 volt boat batteries. Those things must be expensive if a 12 volt one is $100. Lol

This boat includes:

*Huge front casting platform None on the back though
*Beautiful blue finish
*Awesome custom lettering just like every other Panga
*Ample storage under seat and casting platform
*Stainless steering wheel that will burn your hand on a hot summer day
*Brand new Yamaha controls That look like they were wired by Rat Dog
*Brand new tachometer
*6 Rod holders
*2011 Lowrance Elite 5 DSI (google it, its awesome for the reefs) but that its it, not good for bayous or bays
*2011 Minn Kota Riptide70lb with extended handle
*2011 120v Marine Batteries... Qty 2.. Located under the casting platform for the trolling motor, gives a 30 hour continuous run time (overkill I know). the 2 120v batteries actually make it a 240 volt 1,400lb troll motor due to it being wired in a series
*2011 120v Marine Batteries ... Qty 2.. Located under the console for electronics and ignition... its a little overkill but I will never have a dead battery on the water.
*50hp Yamaha 4stroke motor.. This motor has around 120 hrs and has a fresh oil change as of last weekend. I have never had a problem with it, also ran on ethenol free gas *90% of the time.. I just have to change the starter every trip out to due to the 120 volts from the battery
*500gph bilge pump
*Perko battery switch
*Heavy duty trailer capable of trailering a 20ft center console or a 19' side console
*99% Tread left on the tires and working lights lights are super bright, i runt them off a 17,500 watt generator on the back of my 379 Petebilt that I use to pull it



I've had this boat for about 2 years and I am only selling it in order to fund my new business. (hoopefully not an electronics business) It floats in 6in of water with 3 people on board and tears through 6ft chop. (could float in 4 if I would get some smaller batteries, or friends) I have had it a couple of times in 4-6ft seas with absolutely no problems except a little spray (and a little poo in my drawers). This boat was made for fishing, I use the front platform for polling due to its height off of the water, but usually I just use the trolling motor. (it gets hard polling 3 men and 2 120 volt batteries) The fuel burn is about 1.5gph at 25kts, with a range of about 60 miles on an 11 gallon tank. The boat has always been garage kept and has zero blemishes (except for the rusted out pad eyes on the transome and the 3rd grade wiring job) you will not find a cleaner boat.. Thanks for looking! The pleasure is all mine!!

This is a good one too...how do you calculate 90% of the time? lol

I have been in 20 footers in a 32 ft. boat in the Pacific. They were a couple hundred yards apart, so it wasn't that bad. If they were close, no go...
6' waves can be good or bad, depending on the distance between them.
I wouldn't go out in 6' waves in that boat, on purpose. In any condition.
Mexican cartels run dope in them things, but they are a lot bigger.

The boat is pretty sweet tho, aside from the shoddy wiring. I'm gonna buy it and put a blackjack sticker on it and see if I can fit in better
