Johnny Morris still on a shopping spree ...
He failed to mention Stratos or Champion in the names of all the boat companies they own.
If you go to White River Marine Group in Wikipedia, it lists them all. It also shows Stratos out of production after 2017.
They keep letting Johnnie buy all these boat companies and you will be only able to buy either Nitro or Ranger Boats...lol

Hook sets are fishing reality.
25 years from now for most of us it won't matter or care, just be glad to wake up and not wearing a diaper.
For Legend fans and owners, who seem to be just about as fanatical about their brand as owners of another brand I know of, I hope Legend doesn't go the way of the dodo. Seems unlikely I suppose, but you never know now having all these makes under one roof and competing for the best bottom line. Certainly, each brand under BPS/JM will have quotas for volume and profits but in the end personal preference from upper management could end up affecting things regardless.

I have never seen a single legend around here, what areas are they popular in?
I know they are around here and I've seen them in Wisconsin, Michigan, Canada, and Ohio.
2005 Champion 198 DC Elite
2005 Mercury Optimax-225hp (Serial#1B073011)
Quite a few in east TX. I'll run across one occasionally at the lake.
They did a decent job of filling the champ void, they had the ex champ rep working for them, hope he keeps afloat.

Clyde Howard. I sure hope he comes out well in this!!!!
Margins are good for your expensive boats but sales are limited due to costs. Parts utilization across makes and increased volume lowers costs, allowing bigger margins with a lower price. The lower price hurts the pricier boat sales eventually driving those that didn't get on board into oblivion.
Please release me,let me go.
Sad to see Stratos go by the way side... Life goes on... Dan
Lots of them here in so cal. Bling boat for the bling crowd.
rumor has it from several of my buddies in Mt. Home (I live close by and spend lots of time there) that Legend was in some financial trouble so this isn't surprising.
