I agree with Slade, since the V-20's hit the market last year many Legend owners that were running the older models are looking to move to the V-20. The V-20 is an absolute awesome fishing machine and I would be willing to bet when I get ready to sell mine in 2016, it will not last long.

This is just my opinion, but I think when you're talking about newer boats that go on the market, most people want to pick out their own colors and options when they're spending that kind of money. These new "used" boats are still >$50K. The owners aren't going to give them away, so unless they are really great deals and someone is taking a significant loss, you may as well buy a brand new one. Again, it's just my opinion.

I looked at a V20, very nice boat. But, 65k for no electronics and no t motor?

I wouldnt say its down cause its not well at least not for Phoenix anyways the section on BBC for Phoenix boats has dwindled down to nothing almost but I do agree on some is color choice some boats I see I cant believe the color choices especially know you are not going to keep it. Not trying to call you out, but I did a quick count of the active boats for sale on BBC and Phoenix has 42 and Legend has 41. I only thought to do this because these are both boats that I look at pretty often for my next purchase. Some of these may not actually be for sale still as I'm not sure people keep the mods up to date on that site.

My buddy has an Alpha 199 and the only things I don't like about it are: the storage in the back is small, not a very fast boat (excellent rough water ride though), front deck is narrow and wobbles when you move side to side. But that's just me. I don't see why they wouldn't really fast, except they have great resale value.

But that's just me. I don't see why they wouldn't really fast, except they have great resale value. That is about the last thing I would have thought I would have heard about a 199. It's probably the fastest boat Legend makes when there is a 225 on the back of it, which is what I have. So to say the 199 isn't fast, is CRAZY. I will take my hole shot and top end speed over just about any boat out there except of course the rocket ships aka Bullets and others similar. I've got a Legend but am one of those rare guys that doesn't really care about the Ford vs Chevy debates on this type of thing. To me all of the top line (Legend, Skeeter, Ranger, Triton, Bass Cat, etc) all make good quality boats and they each have their good and not so good things about them. It just comes down to personal preference.

That thing should run well into the 70's with a 225.

Yeah, unless low 70's is slow for you, something is definitely not right there. The 199 is like the sports car of the Legend fleet.

If you watch enough you would see more Phoenix has came and gone but the same Legends are still there along with quite a few V20's
