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

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.

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. is that what they are legendary for?? I heard they were legendary for smoking Cat owners named Doug... Just what I heard.
