    Thought he ran a Stratos? Maybe Skeet will jump to Charger. Who knows.

    Don’t see Skeet moving. Mike could tho. He’s from the area and knows Kelly. Be a smart move on his part.

    I doubt Kelly would find sponsorship cost effective, they seems to be selling all they can make now.

    It was posted on the Legend board that Chris Lane & Fletcher Shyrock are going to Nitro. It was posted that Jacob Wheeler's deal was through his dealer, so he may run his boat another year. A couple of more supposedly are going to Phoenix. The others are going to Ranger.

    It also looks like from the scuttlebutt on the Legend board is they are ready to go belly up. I can't see why Mike couldn't get in a Charger on a consignment deal. Most of them do that anyway. Mike is a good stick and has been with Champion for a long time.

    White River Marine Group (Johnny Morris) just purchased them, so speculation on their future is rampant. If you think about it, Legend is not a mass produced boat, so more of a custom boat than Ranger, Triton or Nitro. I would think there is a niche for that. Just can't see him forking out the cash just to buy a plant to move Triton to. Would think he could build one cheaper. Just my 2¢

    I knew Stratos was being mothballed, Legend not surprised since JM bought them and they complete directly with Ranger... Dan

    Plug was already pulled on Stratos ... no 2018 models. Legend, yet to be seen.
