Yea right. Phoenix is actually selling boats! I agree, I can't see Phoenix selling anytime soon. MONEY talks, time will tell. It won't be too long when you have only two choices, it's almost that way with Lowes and Home Depot. 
If it was easy, everyone would do it

No. Thanks to the 2007-2010 Obama years, You do know that Obama did not become president until 2009, right.

If I were him I would dissolve nitro and keep Legend! Dissolve one of the 2 top selling brands for years and years makes little sense.

It's not what we think is the best product , it's the product that makes the most profit . Quality is not in the formula for profit , advertising sells the product fellas . What do you see more of on the water ? Bass Boats or Recreational Boats , he will thin the herd to control the product to control the prices ,

Rockwall Marine sold a Bass Cat earlier this year for $ 92 and change. There are a group of folks who have $$$$$$, who don't care about price and what's worse have never owned a bass boat. First stop, Lake Fork.  2nd stop is the prop shop to get the prop and skeg fixed 3rd stop is the fiber glass shop LOL

I love all of this conviction from everyone on here "in the know" about all of this stuff. Not a single person that has posted on this has a clue what White River/JM is going to do with Legend Boats. I love my V20 and will be honest that this scares the hell out of me. I have been hearing Ranger service and parts horror stories from DIE HARD Ranger guys for the last year. I just hope it doesn't go the same way with Legend. I also hope the dealers and especially Billy Sartin and crew at Sartin Marine don't end up getting hosed.

Wonder what this will do to the "Legends of Lake Fork" tourney????? That's always been a good one to win in. 4 boats on the line was pretty stout!

The guy is in it to make money. Killing legend would drive people away from all of his brands just like it did to platinum when they killed champion. Anything is possible and it's his business. I don't see it being a smart move to kill the brand. There's only one reason I see and that would be the monopoly deal. If he kills brands it makes his market share smaller percentage wise against the competition. Say there's 10 brands, he owns 4, that's 40 percent. If he kills one, 9 total left and he has 3, he only has 30 percent On this topic -- Market Share is calculated on (your) boats sold as compared to total boats sold in a market. Not how many brands you own. Monopolies are determine by market share (total number of boats and dollar value sold in total market). Under Sherman Antitrust Act, only when a company approaches 75% market share is it considered a Monopoly. https://business-law.freeadvice.com/business-law/trade_regulation/monopoly_power.htmAlso, there is nothing that Morris is doing that would prevent you from building boats and starting your own company. If Morris cannot service the market with boats that someone wants to buy and be happy with, someone surely will. .
