The Garvey on East Matagorda Bay
มุมมอง 2Kปีที่แล้ว
We Fished a few hours every day over spring break, saw lots of wildlife an enjoyed the great weather. In highlight, we broke in the new engine on the recently finished Gravy, an overall good handling boat that we will use more often crappie fishing on the lakes.

Tradinghouse Creek March Crappie
มุมมอง 1412 ปีที่แล้ว
Whent with a friend to tradinghouse for a couple hours on the microskiff, caught a few crappie.
Well you covered all bases for sure. That’s very impressive. I’ve got a 22’6” I’m restoring. Thanks for the tips.
really appreciate your video. thanks for sharing all the information.
I grew up using the wood version of a Panga. We called them Skip Jacks. Later years I discovered the Panga. Best damn boat design ever!! I have taken on serious storms and here I is. LOVE THOSE BOATS!! They plane and run beautiful! Its also takes less HP to run them boats. They are just an awesome design. Had a 70 HP it would scare ya . I went back to 25 HP. This was on an 18-footer wood.
Im like you but 3 bilge pumps? Is that really necessary or is that just you?. Reason asking is I want to build my own boat too...
No, but I believe 1 is none and 2 is 1 offshore. 1 pump Is for the deck, the other 2 are for the bilge running on separate batteries.
@@rusty_adv i'm like you… I run two bilge pumps, and I only go out on small lakes and rivers lol. If I was going 50 miles offshore I would definitely have 3. Dirt cheap and when you need one because you got swamped or blew a fitting there's no disadvantage in having 3 churning away
@rusty_adv that's a fact!
have a 25 lowside and you are absolutely right about weight... of which, you are loaded up. Do you, but id personally lose the hardtop and go to canvas and lose the third screen. Two is plenty. Then again you are saving weight with the 140. I run a yamaha 150 sho. Theres quite a few places to save weight. Lithium batteries perhaps
The hard top is made out of the green board, the same thing they use for windmill blades, the whole top is less than 7 lbs, and because it's rigid it needs less aluminum than a soft top. Kinda a wash on weight, and it will last 10x longer. I've moved to lithium tm and house batteries, I think it's spot on for weight now. Next mod will be a different live scope mount...
I like the way you put all the stuff,l also got a 25 ft
So your more into consumerism than fishing, got it. 🤦♂️👎
Please feel free to watch my other videos, this is about the boat and equipment that I have and my experience with it. All other videos are about the trips. Thanks for watching.
A is pronounced AW as in AWFUL in Spanish. Complete shocker I know. It's weird how you can get the second A correct though.... I like your PAWNGAW though. Clean build.
Yes, you are correct, I apologize for my ignorance. I have been corrected and I practice saying it correctly. Hopefully I can do an update video, I have a dive video I need to finish editing and get out. Thanks for your support.
Haha sorry I was just busting your balls. Pry had too many Jack and Cokes that night. @@rusty_adv
Where?
We left port out of Port Aransas Texas, aboard the Scat Cat
Well How much at the start ….and how much did you put into it LOL A lot I know Give us some numbers about the beginning pricing plz
Prices have gone up, like everything else, I got the hull and composite board for under 10k, about 14k for the outboard and jack plate
That is an awesome boat!
Too good dude! Awesome setup.
So the big ones were caught on topwaters? I've been on one 36hr, didn't land a yellowfin but had fun. I"M planning on going on a 56 this fall. Thoughts on what you learned? Thanks for the cool video.
Several around 70 lbs were landed on free line baits, with a buried hook. The ones Bigger than that were on top water
@@rusty_adv thanks for the feedback dude. One more question, your jigging reel, do you like it ? Would it handle a triple digit fish??
@@brandonwilson8402 I probably won't last for too many of those, but for the price I wouldn't be afraid to use it
Very impressive.
Talk about a loaded panga. Love the setup.
Hey I'm looking to get into the panga life same idea fresh water and salt. What was the price of the hull with a flat deck?
Check with Rod at bayou to blue water in San Leon, price has changed since I did mine 😕
Thanks i emailed him it was 12k for the hull🥲
@@2aamerica329 that's not as bad as I thought, it was about 10 when I got mine and I beat all the price hikes
Flat bottom skiff is much better.
I have a flat bottom skiff too. I'd never take it offshore with our short wave interval., every boat has something it's better at, the skiff is in the flats and rivers. The panga just does everything ok, and efficiently. Speaking of efficiency, check out the video on the Garvey, it gets over 10 mpg...
Whats your rough total investment currently ?
Including trailer and electronics, ready to fish, 42k. Unfortunately the cost of everything has gone up, if I did another one, I would expect around 50-55k. At least operating costs are so low.
Also, what’s your LOA?
25'. I've gone 50 miles out and then back all on a single 20 gallon tank
What’s the furthest you’ve gone offshore?
Not opposed to 100 miles, 50 ish is the most I've done on this one. It's currently the limit of my towing insurance.
You started with a simple and efficient low stress low maintenance perfectly performing panga And spent every dollar possible to create a heavy out of balance fuel hog of a typical American center console that your gonna spend more time maintaining all the systems in than Actuslly using.
just about the coolest offshore boat i have seen i want one
This will do good in Texas bays and offshore?
It's great in Texas, I can run shallower than most bay boats and up to 100 miles offshore. Yes on rough days a catamaran would be more comfortable, and a flats boat can run shallower. But nothing else will do both as well.
i've seen pangas go to bahamas. sure it depends on weather window. but it shows they are pretty versatile boats when used correctly.
It's on my too do list, for sure
Any boat can go to the Bahamas it's hardly a feat to so.
Well they also cross the southern hemisphere fully loaded lmao they have a better track record then any boat your thinking of.
my father an i always used the good sideways drift for bottom fishin while drifting, we could have 4 er 5 rods out when the boat was in a stiff wind, it just stayed sideways lol
Russel
Very good. A well done project, and much info with other applications. Thanks and take care.
mercury-owned motor guide
They are so narrow, i get its fuel economy but i like the wider beam
It's definitely a trade off, if I wasn't in a panga I'd go catamaran.
Don't think because it's narrow it's very tippy. The flat bottom towards the stern slows the rocking like a fan going up and down . I'm 260 pounds and stand on the side of the boat in a choppy inlet and it hardly tips . Going thru inlets off Long Island I steer this boat thru the inlet with boat wakes coming every which way on a crowded weekend and my 25 Panga steers straight thru the choppy waves and is very stable. 25 Foot Eduardono Corvina Panga Boats are highly refined compared to Immensa Pangas.
Nice, by the way how wide is your walking deck? Tnx
It's about 5' average, the sides have a lot of curve
Very narrow. Like a cigar.
Good stuff Rusty! keep posting!
Thanks, will do!
Damn sweet build, one of the best pangas I’ve seen. Does it still give good fuel economy after all the additional weight? Or do you feel like it defeats the purpose of a panga?
I was careful to minimize any weight possible when adding to it, I switched to lithium batteries and with the loss of weight repitched to a 22p. 4200 rpm 25 mph 6.9 mph, I say I've kept the economy
Super clean setup!!
Thanks!
is your Panga self bailing with scuppers ?????
No, I built a tray in the floor with a pump, self bailing would have been nice but comes at a cost of weight and stability.
amazing setup!
Thanks!
Pronounced “ponga”. 👍
You're not wrong, sorry, I've just heard it pronounced wrong for too long.
@@rusty_adv please excuse my idiotic correction. Its your boat, this is the USA, and you should darn well call your boat whatever you like. I am the one who is sorry. Tight lines
Those snapper look awesome!
That was an awesome trip or couple of trips that we did together I love it everybody that watches this y'all need to subscribe to my buddies videos because there is going to be a whole lot more coming lots of adventures
that's a nice boat!😎👍
Ok where to I buy a hull and trailer
Rod, at bayou to blue water is the guy, can get you exactly what you need
Nice boat. Love it.
Panga is a cheap lightweight row boat that people took and put a bunch of expensive crap on and now it has raised the prices of these cheap boats. There made to have 30hp to 60hp tillers depending on size. And will run 25 to 35 mph top end depending on HP and sip fuel with a 25 gallon tank 250 mile plus range. People then put consoles and big motors on them and fancy consoles and defeated the entire purpose of this hull which is a cheap fuel efficient basic boat for a clamer or bay fisherman to get out and catch there lobster or oysters class etc and go home. So people like you defeat the entire purpose of this hull, if you wanted a offshore center console with all the bells and whistles you should have purchased one. You defeated the purpose of this boat and hull. But people will do whatever they want with there money and its your boat and your money. But I can tell from what you said in the video you kind of wish it was just a simple boat
I could not afford to operate a traditional center console offshore boat, 5.8 mpg is my offshore average ( better on calmer days, worse on rough days). I don't know of any offshore boat that gets that, my jetski wasn't even that efficient. Also, east Matagorda bay is too shallow for most offshore boats. I'll stand by the fact that it is universal and efficient. Nothing wrong with simple, it's just not me. Thx
Nice job on the video sweet boat!
Sweet boat
Very nice explanation of your boat setup. One of the better concerning the panga.
Awesome vid
Good information, Nice boat, good Job.
how you like the panga? what model do you have?
W25BA, is very universal, I fish for crappie to offshore, I plan on doing a video soon to talk about all the ins and outs. The new 267 seems to be a nice setup, not as fuel efficient but with a little more beam. Check with Rod at bayoutobluewater if you are looking for one, he won't steer you wrong.
Works well in the flats too
@@rusty_adv are they finished hulls with floors already?
@@JohnBraman413 the 267 has finished floors, the W25BA has no floor from the factory. Rod can sell you just the hull, a fishing ready machine, or anything in-between.
I'm trying to decide between the W25BA or the W29. Do you mind me asking you how much you paid for it. I prefer the Suzuki over the Yamaha
The hull and composite board to build the deck was right around 10k when I purchased in January, quite a bit of size difference between the 25 and 29. The 25 will cost much less due to the outboard cost, and will be cheaper to operate and easier to transport. If I lived on the coast and did not have to haul the boat for hours, I would consider something bigger. But towing the narrow beam w25ba is a breeze. Check with Rod @bayoutobluewater in San Luis. He's great to work with. And I love my Suzuki 140.
What length shaft and thrust is that Xi5?
@@mrbacklash 72" 24v 80 lbs, but I pulled it of and bought a minn kota of the same, way better. Holds in 2.5 ft swells with confidence and will probably do more. Also moved to a fiberglass mount as I could not prevent the aluminum from flexing, causing cracks.
