2007 Panga 22LX

The 22LX has that classic, skinny-water Panga hull that loves to run shallow yet stays surprisingly dry when the chop kicks up. The long, open deck gives you room to spread out gear, cast freely, or set up a couple of chairs for a lazy sandbar afternoon. High gunwales add a sense of security when the family’s aboard, and the simple center console layout keeps everything within easy reach. With lean burn and light weight, it’s economical to run all day. Add in easy-on, easy-off trailerability and you’ve got a boat that slips into small ramps, tucks into modest storage, and begs to be used often.

Waters here can shift from skinny creeks to open, wind-blown stretches in a single run, and that’s where the Panga 22LX shines. The narrow, efficient hull threads through shallows and backwater cuts, yet its high bow and sharp entry handle afternoon chop with confidence. Long runs to fishing grounds won’t beat you up or drain the fuel tank. For inshore casting, beach runs, and nearshore structure hopping on good days, the open layout offers plenty of fishing real estate and easy movement. Add the convenience of trailering to different ramps and you’ve got a versatile platform perfectly tuned to this area’s varied waters.
