Ive seen a few times here on Falcon and have a few questions about the wrap. Does anybody know whos boat that is? Blue wrap that has Texasfishingforum.com on the side.


thanks

Well I know rick paradis used to have his legend wrapped TFF before it came to it's unholy demise. Dunno now.

Yep that's Rick's boat

He was down at falcon for a week last year
Then sunk it on choke canyon

The boat is in the Houston are now I do believe. I think his FIL has it
I am not sure if it's still wrapped though

I know it took a beating this year at fork during the legend tourny
We left chunks of wrap hanging on stumps

I

How did he sink his Legend?

Hahaha. I'll let him chime in on this one

I would like to hear how he did that !!!

Almost looks like he forgot to undo a boat buckle?

He was coming in late in the evening when a squall was approaching and the wind got up. Waves got big and one picked him up and deposited him on a sandbar, swamped the engine and the boat sunk in about 2-3 minutes. I believe the top cap separated from the hull, as well.

Choke aint no joke, last year I saw a Ranger upside down in the back of a cove by Four Fingers that sank mid lake and floated to its burial! For a smallish lake the winds can make it fierce out there.

oh wow.....does anybody know his posting handle? would like to send him a message and ask him where he got his wrap and if it covered the gunnels completely. I had no idea that was the boat that got totaled on choke.

WOW!!! is that what they are legendary for??

I don't think he runs a Legend any more so he went the next step up a Ranger J/K LOL!! Hope it floats better than the last one did.

Man, wish I wouldn't have seen this post, just bought a Legend....LOL

on the positive side , you have 2-3 minute until it sinks.. LOL

Legend is a good boat and the owner is a great guy. Randy has looked into this and I'm sure it has been taken care of all boats have the faults. I just can't find any in my Bass Cat LOL!! All joking aside I like the Legend boats.

Hey no doubt Randy checked into that, And on another note, I seen a Ranger swamped and beached on the dam at Ivie, so this can happen to any boat even a Basscat...hahaha....Love my Legend.

Knocked a hole in my ranger as big as your fist getting to the north end of Lake palestine 2yrs ago.Did know it until I kicked the trolling over.Fish the rest of the tournament with my pump running,made it to the weight in.

I just watched a video yesterday of a Ranger with severe collision impact damage being pulled from a lake. And no, it did not float while missing a huge chunk out of the cap and hull on one side. Actually, it was under water and upside down.

As for knocking holes in boats, I've done it twice to Skeeters, and I'm not proud of it. Both holes much larger than your fist. And they floated and fished, no problem.

Hit something hard enough to bust the cap loose from the hull and swamp the motor with a wave over the transom that instantly fills the boat, in severe water, and you're gonna sink. I don't care what brand it is.

I heard they were legendary for smoking Cat owners named Doug...
Just what I heard.

mlmays40, you knocked a hole in your boat the size of your fist and didn't know it? WOW....and I think your right fouzman.

Son, don't be writin' checks yer azz can't cash!

...Kidding Doug!

Just giving you a hard time Doug . I love cruising in your BassCat.

close to what Doug? Smokin a bass kitty ?

Yeah ok Doug !!!

HAHAHA....

I just love when the ghetto comes out.You know you hit a nerve.

No but really. Dougs BC flies in the water!

Must have Fish

No nerves hit Nervous Nancy (jerry)

pretty sure Doug?

dougs boat flies because there aint no fish in it, and he will beat you to the whole just so that he will be the first one there to not catch any fish. bwahaha

doug does have a nice rig, but he wont let me fish out of it because he doesnt want it to smell like fish

All I got .. lol

Watch this video and then decide if a ranger would sink.

that dam tucker

You guys sure like Doug's Cat LOL!!! J/K I have a Cougar she runs ain't no Legend catching it!

Climer Had to teach him how to drive a kitty! Lol! That's one bad arse kitty Mr Fresh

So many Nay Sayers...haha

Legend is my favorite boat built but it will not out run a cat bottom line. My buddies factory puma ftd would run 79 with our two skinny.tails in it loaded down.

Hmmm

I wish my boat was as pretty as your Legend for sure!

I remember that boat

This thread is funny. It is like a Cobalt owner and a Focus owner arguing over who's car is faster when they are both still slow











I considered comparing them to rice burners, but figured that would be stooping too low.

Don't make me bust out my Cobra.

Doug, just havin a blast with ya and this post, I am sure your Cat is one sharp lookin boat as all Cats are. Don't know just how fast my Legend is because it isn't out of the break in period yet, but one of these days hahaha...

hey tom what Cobra have you got?? i run a Coosa 216!

We have a few boats running TFF wraps.

201 DC. Buddy used to have a 216. Loved that boat so much I bought mine.

Navionics is your friend. Change the shaded depth settings and you wont run your boat aground.

I was wondering how the boat sank when he ran it up on a sand bar?

Well it was pretty easy considering the water on each side of the sand bar was about 3' deep.
