I am looking at buying a new Legend and was looking for public opion. I do not know much about this company, but I hear that the boats are getting good reviews. My question is would you buy from a compony that has not been aroud very long and risk that the compony would go out of bussiness and then you would be left holding the bag? If the this happens do you lose the warrenty on the motor and the electronics?

I would take a tour of the factory (and will in Feb) to see how they are built and materials list. Take the list of materials to Mike at North Texas fiberglass to see if they are decent. The motor would be okay from any factory authorized dealer as well as the electronics.

Shoot them an e.mail and the VP Lee Yowell should respond. He actually lives in Ennis and is on the same deer lease with an ex co worker of mine.

where is the factory????

Legend has gotten well past the "Are they gonna make it stage".

They are suppose to be the best built boats on the markets right now, and I know a couple good friends that run them and they have nothing but great things to say about them.

Legend offers a boat from 19' to 21'.

I hear if you have a problem or need to, you can call the owner directly and talk to him.

I think the owner of Legend boats lives on Richland Chambers.

Red, I have heard the same thing. I know a friend of a friend who bought a Legend and had a problem with the boat and the owner came out twice to fix the problem, the first problem was with the hull and they pored him a new one the second problem was with the setup and now he is a happy camper. Not too many owners would personally take care of the problem. THAT IS ANOTHER RESONE THAT I LIKE LEGEND.

I am one of the original owners of a Legend boat. I have dealt directly with the owner. I consider him to be a friend. I have toured their plant and talked to their employees . All of the people involved in building their boats are energetic and enthusiastic. The dealer I dealt with was Bowie Marine in Decatur owned by James Wilkins. You could not meet a more honest and stand up person. I have owned Rangers and Tritons in the past and really liked both brands, however the Legend is heads above both of those. I have owned my current boat longer than any other simply because I can find no reason to change.
Workmanship and quality is beyond compare. Customer service is unheralded.

go to the tackle show in arlington and talk to the legend staff. some of the guys are very knowledgeable some are not. take a look at james' le 21 with the 300 mercury xs....the boat in my opinion is well ugly but I bet it is a screamer...

That boat will probably be the talk of the show..

At the Mesquite show Bowie Marine sold all their Legends they had on hand last time.

Jvon and Tubby each bought one......

Acouple of the guys in my club have Legends and they are one smooth ride in rough water. They are awesome boats. Only thin that is questionable is the storage.

c-man,
I run a legend and it is by far the fast and smoothest boat that I've owned.

225proxs

C-man.

Swillis on here (best friend) just got his LE199 Alpha Series with a 225 Pro XS....it screams. Whenever he finally decides to test the spare prop that I have (one of these days) (I know he'll read this post) he will probably figure out a way to marry it.

Great boat, teamed up with solid management and awesome looks. One of the best looking rigs you'll see on the road. It just looks sharp sitting on the trailer.

Mikey likes it.

Here's the best testimony I've heard. Today is was at the fishing show in Arlington. Looked at the Legends again (lusted) then looked at the Rangers. The two guys that were selling the Rangers first asked me if I had any questions about there boat and I said no and kind of walked off. Then I overheard them talking to each other and they both commented how the Legend was coming on and how well built it was. Pretty good comments from guys who sell the competition.

OK OK ... dont know sqwat about these boats...
I've personally never seen a Legend boat until today at the fishing show. They sure were pretty
But... WHAT the <censored> is up with thos 20" rims w/low profile tires on the trailers?
There were several there... boat itself sits very high (to me).. wonder what that does to the center of gravity <shrug>

hmmm

By the time that you get far enough down the ramp to float the boats on the trailer with the 20" rims your truck will be floating too. The Purple & white metalflake boat was the best looking boat at the show as was the black & orange monstor the uglist boat there.

I agree with launching. You will have to submerge the back of your truck in the water to get it unloaded with the high wheels.

That 300 Stroker looked mean. I'd love to take it for a spin on a big open lake and really open it up. It'd be one of those rides where you had a snot line runnin back to your ears.

I am also a Legend owner. I have an LE 21 with a 250 xs on the back. I have no complaints at all with the boat. Smooth ride and move through the water well also. GPS'ed 79.2 on CC Wednesday. I have not had a problem with the storage. I am the world's worst about having too much in the boat. I have yet to run out of space. Nicely finished boat. If you get to look at them and ride in them, check out the work that was put into the back of the boat where the gas tank and batteries are. That will tell you how much pride they take in what they produce.

C-man,

I have followed the developement of Legend Boats since before they even started.

I am very, very familiar with Legend. I will go on record and say that they are very good boats. I wouldn't hesitate buying one at all if I was in the market for a new boat.

Randy Qualls has done a great job bringing first class quality to these boats.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate calling.

I know Randy Qualls very well. I have been to mountain home where they build them. smooth or ruff water, you get a great ride.

Can anyone tell me *why* the 20" rims? I know it wasnt just for the show as the spare's were mounted under the boats on the trailers... Why would anyone around here, with the lake levels as they are want a trailer that sets the boat up an extra two or 3 inches? Is this the new look waiting for the sea's to rise from Global warming hehehe <shrug> As stated the boats look really nice.. just curious...

tha BassRustler

It's just for the look. Some people like the bling on the wheels, that's all.

Some people don't care about the added height.

Thats fair enuff, guess I've seen a lot of things that dont make no sense in here in the 21st century (c:

tha BassRustler

I meet Randy at the show. He is a really cool dude, and he lives on or near Richland Chambers.

Legend is the best built boat on the market today.

I think Legends are faster than BassCats.

I hear customer service from Legend beat them all also.
