I live in La Paz and would like to buy a new panga built like the one shown here. A few questions, if you don;'t mind helping out a fellow fisherman
in need:
I live a few doors from Marina La Paz and yes we have many pangas in the area but I don't know who would be trustworthy to build mine. Three or four
builders exist. If I went with the builder in Barriles...
Did you order it? Did they build it custom? Do thye stock them? whats's the timeline and process? approximate cost? for this baby?
How about the motor and trailer? where did you get them and which did you choose?
Your help will be very much appreciated, I could call or write privately if you prefer. It's getting down to the wire and I would like to make this
happen for the best price and best quality now.
Thanks and yes la jaunita II esta muy bonita!
Pablo
en la paz

Have you been to the Marina and asked around? That is where I would start.
I am going to guess the the live bait well is not under that seat, but somewhere on the stern that doesnt show up in the pix.

Capt. sharky is Right On about the fellow building and Repairing Pangas in Loreto!
Another way to go might be finding a used Original built by Mac Shroyer and have it reworked to fit your needs, depends on the Size Panga you would
like.
Mac built the "La Patricia'' for me in 1976 which I fished for 27 years out of Loreto. It had a center Live Bait Tank.I used a Homelite 55, Evinrude
55, Evinrude 70 and found it to be a very Seaworthy Panga. The first Diaz Pangas coming out of La Paz with the Heavy metal Sombro's were a little top
Heavy{Corrected in the Later Models}. Bill Riffe who lives in the "Round House next to the Capitain's Office may still have his in the Yard.
Look around and use the guy in Loreto!

I spend many days on pangas and end every day in MLP so I know the Shroyer's etc... and know every small shop panga maker in la paz and have well
studied the styles and forms. Si puedo hablar espagnol un pocoi y tengo muchos amigos en las marinas, ellos dice nque estan differencias de las
pangas. I really am wondering about specifics about the makers in barriles, costs, process, what differences can be noted in hull shape and finish
etc... la juanita II looks great.
It doesn't help that the shroyers used to make pangas. I don't want to refit an old panga beacuase i like light weight well built new stuff.
I understand that going to some makers such as Jorge Aboroa might take a long time and if your lucky it will be sorta close to what you want.
So what is the price of the barriles makers model and what can be said about delivery time, models, styles, fittings? Which motor did you choose and
why? Who made the trailer?
Your help is really appreciated as this is my dream to have a useable panga to leave the MLP and visit the islands each day. Gracias amigos, Pablo

I have a 1989 Arkansa Taveler 19 Ft/8 Ft Beam with an 175 Omc{302 Ford} in excellent Shape. This boat weights 3,000 Lbs. has 36 Gal Fuel Tanks can
Fish 4 people easy, can do overnight Cruising with two people as it has folddown Seats all for $6000.
And if you really wanted to Cruise it could be outfitted with a Yannmar Diesel for about $15,000.
for $21,000 you could have a Very comfortable Boat to Cruise the Sea of Cortez/ or Trailer North to Loreto and Cruise back to La Paz for the Best
fishing in Baja!!!

I'm interested in a 23-25' panga and an outboard since that will light weight and flexible.
Thank you for the suggestions.
Oh here is a photo from a recent trip just off Isla San Jose, that's me, Pablo on the right learning to fish for dorado with Jessica and Kevin.

Good fish!! What did the heads measure?
My wife has me beat with a head measure of 18 Inches. The 55 Lbder I caught off of Del Elfonso only measured out at 16 I/2 Inches.
What time of year? Have you ever gone up to Las Animas for Tuna?
