I just love how ignorant the TFF can be at times. Both of these comments prove it.

I have worked my arse off and have been pretty blessed in life over the last 20 years which has afforded me the ability to do pretty much whatever I want. When I bought my first Legend in 2012, it was an 11 month old Alpha 199 that I paid $41,000 and yes I financed it for 5 years. I paid extra on every month's payment then decided it was finally time to upgrade to the V20 this past March. After my V20 was rigged up and I picked it up, Billy Sartin listed my 199. It sold in 10 days for $38,000. So I had the boat for 4+ years and used it on 75% of the weekends and sold it for $3K less than what I bought it for. Yes, I added a power pole and new 9" graphs but you can see the Legends hold their value.

Right now the biggest issue Legend has is being able to keep up with their backlog of boats being ordered.

I also think some more info on the sale will come out over time and people will realize it's not exactly what it appears to be.

You convinced me that it doesn't have to take a minimum of a year to sell a Legend, But I was lost on where you disproved the financing comment. Please clarify.

Your posts made it out like financing anything is horrible. My point is if you do it within your means it's a great tool for life and business. I deal with a ton of very wealthy business owners and just about all of them have lines of credit and finance things.

I could have paid cash for the boat but chose to use those resources other places. I could have also paid cash for the V20 I just bought but again chose to finance over 5 years and pay extra every month. I did take the $20K in equity I had in the old boat and applied it to this one.

I don't mind the financing as much as I do the $95,000 price tag. I just don't see the point. I'll keep fishing out of my Skeeter that is paid for until somebody steals it or it sinks but all those who have the need or want one and can afford it I'll applaud and wink when you go by.

Yea right. Phoenix is actually selling boats!
