Finally upgrading and I'm considering a 2008 Legend Alpha 211. Any info from owners past/present about this specific model? Likes dislikes, things to be aware of?

Good boat, probably the best legends made in and around that time frame.

I had one exact model with a 250 pro xs and it would run 74 all day long and in rough water. Kick myself every day for getting rid of it.

Assuming the boat was well taken care of, you can't go wrong with that boat. Great lay out and nothing I've been in handles the water better. I owned an Alpha 199 and now own a V-20.
The only complaint I ever heard on any Legend in the Alpha series was the width of the front deck was too narrow. That same narrow deck is why the boat handled water the way it did.

Great boat. Had 2 of them. Rides really nice, sits a bit now high and the stern end will blow a bit easy when windy. Similar to the older champions. These boats were built really well. Never had any issues out of both my boats.

Great boat. Handled well, especially rough water. Little tippy. Great storage. No regrets with purchase. Recently purchased Phoenix. Didnt realize how narrow it was until now.

Thank you for the feedback. I mostly fish alone so deck width isn't a big issue for me. I'm looking for comfortable ride and quality boat. This is a one owner boat with lower hours, and it appears to be in immaculate condition.

I had a 2007 Alpha 211 with a Yam 250 SHO. Great boat with one issue. When running cross wind you will get side spray. None of my boats including all my Bullets didn't side spray me like that one.

Great boat and I cannot figure out why Jonny stopped making them ? Getting parts will be an issue and if you do find them you will pay a high mark up .

good boat he stopped making them because the building was needed to build a boat he had lots of orders on tritons an it was a more profitable line hard to make money when half of your boats are team boats.
