The difference is price plus the placement of the "Steering Wheel". Traditional pangas have a tiller motor. CC has a "steering wheel"... You can make tighter turns with a tiller. Boat weighs a lot less with a tiller. Easier to trailer and launch. Way less maintenence.
If a panga style boat has a console with a steering wheel would that technically not be considered a panga?
I don't mean to be annoying with my questions it's just that I hear the word panga thrown around quite a bit and I'm just trying to understand exactly what they are talking about...thanks
Most panga's are made in Mexico. Plusses and minuses.... Pretty easy to go charter one and see for yourself. If you want bang for the buck the panga could make sense.....otherwise a U.S. Center console. The very well made Maritime Skiff kinda has a "panga look"
Pangas tend to be more narrow, have lower dead rise and more flat bottomed. So they can operate on less HP. But you will get beat up more in rough conditions

I think of it as more the hull design. In #3 above, the first pic is a Panga and the second a standard CC. You can certainly have a center console, T-top, etc on a Panga but most of the ones I've fished from at Cedros Island have a center console but no T-top but I've fished from ones that do. I don't think I've seen a Panga with an inner liner either.

It's the hull design/shape that designates it a Panga.
Pangas are rad for certain applications
depends on what your trying to do and where you fish

Stop It!!! A Panga is a Panga...they have been making them for 100 yrs + You can put a center console in one, they didn't traditionally come with one.
And a Center Console is just that...(2) separate styles and (2) separate boats. for the reasons mentioned above...
Sheesh...

pangas were designed to be used with oars. The design has never changed.
pangas are great, until you own one and want to go offshore or a south wind.
a good 21 CC console, Grady, Wellcraft or Parker will outperform a 26foot panga... unless you are on the sea of cortez in flat clam water
I love pangas when I rent them, just don't own one unless you plan on staying 3 miles offshore.

You're not going to put an oar on this 32 foot panga/center console baby. The only use of that oar is to beat away any sea lions who get too close.
32’ Mega Panga, 2006, 300hp Mercury Verado
Anodized aluminum hardtop and tuna tower in great condition. Plenty of fishing rod holders. 2 bait tanks. 170 gallon fuel capacity. Comes with extremely nice triple axle aluminum trailer. Engine looks like new and has about 500hrs. Runs perfect...

The fact that you can run a 32foot boat with a single 300 outboard, proves my point.

You can run any 32 foot boat with a 300HP outboard. You're just limited by the top end speed. You're thinking of a canoe or kayak. This 32 monster isn't a canoe or kayak.
