Is it me or are Panga's over rated? Ive been doing research and they seem like the saltwater version of a fish & ski. OK at everything, great at nothing.

Gaston likes them, so there must be something majorly deficient about them.

What's the overall length on trailer of that 21ft Frontier? I'm wondering if it would fit in my 26ft deep garage.


my boat and trailer measures roughly 28' maybe less. I have the 200 sho and the 12" jack plate making it tad longer. one like seapickles with regular 200 and smaller plate is 27' im sure or around it. you could always get a swing away hitch and make it fit.

Mine with the 200 I4 and a 6" plate and I'm right at 28'. That is with the transom saver on. The swing away tongue will save you 2-3'. I had some pretty good measurements when looking to build a shed earlier this year

Guess we aren't really narrowing it down lol. This guy's initials are J.P.

To the OP, I'd go a glass boat. The Frontiers are really nice. I plan on buying a new boat within the next year and after riding g in Xpress and doing quite a bit of fishing out of a friend's Key West, no doubt I'd go glass.

Not really the 150 performs well on that boat but that boat is the older design. Not the full composite hull like the 2104 meridian. 27k is kind of steep for that boat...I paid 35 for a used 2013 with 50 hours and was rigged out ready To fish
