Jay T Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Well this year I took the plunge and got a brand new boat, the 12 1/2 footer I had for 12 years just was not cutting it anymore. I couldn't get out and do a lot of the fishing I wanted to do, and having 4 in the family now there wasn't enough room for us all in that old boat. So I decided to go for a Legend boat 16' side console with a 25hp 4 stroke merc efi electric tilt, it doesn't fly but it makes 32-34 mph on the GPS and it is great on gas to. I am having a hard time staying off the water even more so now, it is so much better and lots of room for us all and we have slimed the boat quite a bit to. Anyways here are a few pics of the boat.
Smokey Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Congrats. Should be a great ride for you for many years.
jwl Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 good stuff, hope she treats you well on the water and sees lots of fish,I also run a Legend, well 2 actually...Viper with a 40 on it, and a 14 footer Ultralite with a 9.9, treated my family very well for the last 5 seasons, never a problem. I am sure your familly will have loads of fun in the new ride
Greencoachdog Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Ooooo!!! New boat porn!!! You'll catch lots more fish outta that console than you would've a tiller!!! Now go get it WET!!!
Victor Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Congrats on the new ride! Now lets see some fish in that boat
MoriaRiverMan Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Great new boat! I really need to convince the wife that i should be fishing in one like that to Congrats..........im sure you will enjoy
Jay T Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Posted June 6, 2008 I really need to convince the wife that i should be fishing in one like that to It was my mine that convinced me into getting a new one
Reef Runner Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Congrats on the new ride. Many stories to come will be borne from that haul. Hope you and the family get much enjoyment out of the craft.
forrest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 I think 30mph is flying, especially with the weight of the console, and you want to go faster?
Jay T Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Posted June 6, 2008 I think 30mph is flying, especially with the weight of the console, and you want to go faster? I never said I wanted to go faster, but compared to some boats that is slow. It is just fine for me the way it is, and with the price of gas I didn't want a bigger motor just to pay more $$$$.
Roy Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Outdoorsman, you did good! Congrats on the new ride. You and your family will enjoy it for years. It'll also become some of your family's fondest memories. WTG!
Gerritt Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 NIIIICE!!! Congrats on the new boat and I look forward to the reports coming from aboard her! G
jdmls Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 nice boat...I have been looking and your Legend is probably one of the best boats for the money.....If I had space to put it , I would already have one !!
jwl Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 I think 30mph is flying, especially with the weight of the console, and you want to go faster? all you guys are funny with that, I get a kick out of the "console guys" and the "tiller guys" razzing eachother I can't have an opinion on that...I have both 30 plus MPH is pretty good on the water...lots of bigger boats with bigger motors don't get much more out of em than that, sure maybe not the hole shot the bass boat guy get but.....you and your family will have a blast...My Legend Viper with the 40 on it in comparison with a bit more decking and heavier seats ect still comes in at about only 1000lbs all together, and I can get about 40 MPH out of it,2 guys and some fishin gear. We use the boat for family boat rides, goofing off, tubing, ect along with fishing.....this way it was well justified as a "family" purchase Looking forward to some great reports along the way..stay safe this summer on the water and get out there and have a blast with the family and friends
steve_paul Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Nice boat Jay, congrats and hope to see lots of reports from her.
Spiel Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 ....Very nice, it'll certainly open up new possibilities.

Greencoachdog Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 congratulation on ur new boat.Can u tell us how much did it cost you including all fees.thx enjoy ur new boat Go on down to the dealer and get a quote! Or check several dealers... talk to them. Let them buy you a coke and sell you a boat...
danbouck Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Great looking boat! That speed is all you need. In my new 16 Legend with a 50 I get around 35mph (a lot heavier though)
danbouck Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 congratulation on ur new boat.Can u tell us how much did it cost you including all fees.thx enjoy ur new boat All prices are on the Legend website.
Muskieman Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Great purchase!! I think that 30 + mph is very good for that boat & motor combo.... I have a 2002 Tracker V-14T Superguide and a 1999 30hp Evinrude 2 stroke with a 13 pitch prop [ with flames should make me go faster].... and on GPS I get 30 by myself and gear 25mph loaded with 2 guys and gear.. Good Luck on the water.... Randy.
allbusiness Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Nice looking boat, I was so close to buying that boat this year - put down a deposit (the dealer only said it would take about a month to get the boat) and at the last minute I decided to upragde to v151 angler (still haven't got it yet - I'll posts pics when I do) Is that a 2007 or a 2008? I thought that the 2008's were painted black and the driver seat was mounted directly to the floor? anyway, congrats on the new boat
