Friend of mine has the exact same boat It a great ride but a very narrow front deck .Not much room for two people up front .Beautiful boat but his trailer is falling apart JMO

Hey so I was just wondering....how do you feel about Phoenix boats?

Crankbait745 That has got to be the first time I have ever heard anyone say something negative about Legends customer service. I am not saying you didn't have a bad experience. I am saying that's the first time I have ever heard of it. I wish you would have the kind of service I have received which is part of the reason I am big on Randy and Legend Boats.

They are a really good boat. I have fished out of several different ones. You will love it. I own a Nitro but don't have anything bad to say about the Legends.

yep buddy has one...Great rough water ride and smokin fast!

Have never owned one but been in a few:
Yes, they are narrow, narrow boats ride better than wide boats in rough water ie: Ranger, Skeeter , etc .

Finish out appeared to be great
Yes the front blows around in the wind .

Resale dosent appear to be great

+1 here too

I have never heard the first thing negative about Legend's customer service. Just the opposite in fact. Their reputation for great customer service is what sold me on mine. Randy Qualls is president of the company and you have direct access to him.

I have heard numerous stories of him personally picking up a boat in the DFW area and dragging it back to the factory in Arkansas for work and then dragging it back to the owner, and I am not talking about some Elite Pro's boat either.

As far as the front deck being narrow, yeah it is narrower than a new Ranger or Skeeter. The new V-series boats addressed that. I've never had a problem fishing two up front in my Alpha 211 and I'm not a little guy.

Ive owned several boats including Ranger, basscat and legend. I have now owned a legend 199 for about three years. I bought the boat used and fixed and upgraded quite a few things. It is a solid boat, rides very well in rough water. Customer service is very good. The alpha hull is a lot dryer ride than the previous LE version. I am about to upgrade to a 21 ft boat. Not sure yet but it will probably be either a legend 211 or a ranger 521.

say what ???

1+ on customer service. I have had my Legend for 12 years and love it. I fish the Legend tournament almost every year and the last couple of years have had some minor repairs done to it. All I had to do was call Randy and tell him my needs ahead of time and he said no worries bring it to us. Last year they replace a part that I broke and said it would take an hour to fix it. While they were working on it I went and ate lunch and came back to find it fixed and to my surprise they had "buffed" it also. Oh yeah it was all free. Never will own any other brand IF I decide to get a newer boat.

i fish out of a 2014 legend alpha 211, absolutely the best riding boat I've been in, and that includes rough water. you stay DRY and DON'T BOUNCE. I know numerous people who get soaked in their skeeters and can't handle as tall of waves without slamming around due to their shallower hull. As far as fishing, the boat is slightly narrower but haven't had any issue staying on the trolling motor in weather. It does get a little narrow when there are 10 rods on the front deck but isn't much of an issue normally. I strongly urge you to take one out and test drive it in "rough" water to make your own opinion, just make sure you're ready to buy one on the spot.

I have heard the same thing from a few friends who used to own Legends, Said customer service was not good.

EZ loader trailer, skeeter has the same problem...

People seem to be ranting and raving about phoenix's great customer service now like they used to about legends, not sure whats happened. No doubt about it though, legend definitely builds beautiful boats.

I came out of a FX 20, have had one every year since 2012 and before that ran Champion, and now I have my first V20 and could not be happier. The way the boat sits, is laid out with the seats further toward the rear deck and runs waves reminds me a lot of my Champion. Maybe I have just gotten lucky so far, but I have been very pleased with the customer service from Legend, now granted I have not had any kind of major issues but the small things I have dealt with them with(I.e..new decals for when wrap is off, upgraded cover etc) has been spot on. They were actually the ones that told me that if I will let the factory know ahead of time that I plan to run a dual graph mount, they will actually rearrange the gauges so that none will be blocked by the dual units. I was used to Skeeter, which makes a lot more boats a year, but it was basically you get what you get.
