Speed enthusiasts will feel right at home here. A tight bucket seat, sports steering wheel and twin-lever gearstick give the Sea Ray 22 Pachanga a real racing boat feel. The 7.32 metre long anniversary edition impressed our BOOTE crew during the test.

What does a renowned shipyard do when it celebrates its 50th anniversary? It builds a birthday model.

Sea Ray's special edition 22 is called Pachanga, a revised version of the 1986 Pachanga - a boat that not only stands out visually, but also in terms of speed.

Five people can be accommodated in the low-lying cockpit. There is a platform and ladder for bathing fun and a slip cabin for overnight stays without much comfort.

The special model, which is a good 7 metres long and 2.54 metres wide, can easily be towed overland with a 3.5 t trailer and an off-road vehicle or SUV.

The shipyard plays it safe when it comes to the sailing area and recommends the boat for coastal waters (CE category C).

Ralf Marquard

Deputy Editor in Chief BOOTE

Ralf Marquard discovered his enthusiasm for boating on the tranquil Aller, first with inflatable boats and later with a 6-meter cabin cruiser. His electrical engineering studies at HAW Hamburg took him from the southern Heidekreis (Lower Saxony) to the Hanseatic city. Ralf Marquard has been working for the BOOTE editorial team since 1997, where he trained as a test editor. He tests both small inflatable boats and larger yachts. His personal boat is a 4.50 meter long, self-built wooden boat with a 50 hp outboard motor. In 2007, he was appointed deputy editor-in-chief at BOOTE.
