Anyone know of someone that has one or has fished out of one? Know of where nearest dealer might be? They have an 18’er with engine and trailer starting at $10K.

Panga flats boat? I wouldn’t want to pole that thing on a windy day. Otherwise, looks like a cool boat. Only heard positive stuff about Andros Boat Works.
I have been in touch with them. THey have not actually made the boat yet. About 18K BMT set up as a flats boat. Ill post more info when they send me some pics. THey used to work at pnaga marine and started their own company…

That has to be the ugliest boat I’ve ever seen. But 10" draft for the 26ft. Sounds like a great bay boat not sure about their clam for offshore
You think that’s ugly?
Look at it again. It kinda grows on ya.
And a flying bridge on a 23’ boat? Sweet!

I know Im jumpin about 4 months late on this, but I too are in the market for a panga style boat. Not sayin that the Panga brand and Andros brands are bad by any means, however, they arnt the only manufactures that make panga style boats. There is a company outa VA, NBC Boatworks, that gets panga style boats straight outa Nicaragua and they are just as good, but a little cheaper. Also a company, Allman Boats, outa Miami that build them cheaper too.
Either way you go you cant beat a panga!!! They may be funny looking with that huge bow flair and their thickend sides, but you cant find a more versitile fishing/surfing/offshore/inshore boat on the market for the price. My first experience with pangas was in Costa Rica. We fished offshore from them, surfed from them at Ollie’s and W. Rock as well as cruzed the estuaries in them and they are amazing. I just wish more people in the US carried them.
Anyway if any of yall have found any of these panga style boats for sale let me know. Im still tryin to find a good used or “last years model” without having to drive all the way to the Keys to get it.
