PG25 Panga Build

[PangaRon]

Pangas are the boat of choice all through the Caribbean and Central America.

And now the Central Coast of California, I'm in good company!

She's looks like a Humpback whale!

The seams are all double taped and she's nearly ready for cloth. I definitely have BBV "Boat building virus."

Boat is looking great I also like the lines of the Panga. I'm here in arizona and have a lot of people ask me if my OD18 is a Panga?
They say it looks like the Panga's in Mexico. But don't know of any Panga's with a flat bottom
I'll be watching your build and if I'm up in Cali, I'll give you a shout. Still have family in Cali, might have to take them some water

I decided to glass the transom today. I used a 1/2" router bit on the edges, filleted this inside, then wrapped the corners and edges in 12 inch Biax and then covered it all in the 50 inch. I thought it would be good to get some experience with a "Wet on wet" operation before tackling the whole bottom. All went well but I learned a few things I thought I would share in case anyone out there is contemplating a build: Never use chip brushes, foam rollers fall apart, use cloth instead. Never mix more that you can use within 15 minutes or so considering the weather, cut every part of the cloth before hand, no matter what! Solo "Wet on wet" is possible if you time it right.
