27' pachanga - twin 454s?

[purpony]

Did the 27' pachanga ever come with twin 454s? I know they came with twin 350s. If they didnt, has anyone repowered them?

If you have a pachanga please post up pics. I have always been in love with the pachangas since i was a little kid. Would love to buy one in the upcoming future.

What mph rating did these top out at? whats cruising speed?


thanks

The Pachanga 27 did come with T-454s, but they're very difficult to find now, and their rarity can make them rather Pricey. Since both the 454's and 350's both were coupled to Merc Bravo II outdrives, your best bet may be to buy a T-350 boat with trashed engines and repower it using Chevy 454's obtained from other sources- this is the same 454, only un-marinized, which shouldn't matter in a big-boat application such as this.

Generally, These top in the Mid-To-High 60's. I couldn't tell you much about the cruising speed, since Pachangas seem to spend most of their time running flat-out...
