I'm glad to hear that info. Although I live in MN so going to Texas for warranty repairs isn't exactly easy for me. I'd also be a little nervous having the guys at the nitro dealer close to me, tear my boat apart and try to repair it.

IDCI07 I understand about the drive to the streetman TX shop for repairs. Randy Qualls has been very helpful with this tho. I live about 1hr 45mins southeast of Washington DC and he met me in Oxford AL to pick up my V20 to do repairs. Cut my round trip in half and saved my about 18 hours drive time. He has done this for others as well. While my V20 is there hes fixing other stuff that's not under warranty free of charge. He may not be the owner any longer but he still takes pride in our boats being the nicest looking on the water and will go above and beyond to keep them that way.
WACO spare replacement parts were a concern of mine also. After speaking to Kody and Pete I'm feeling a bit better about that now. Everything was outsourced minus the omnibus and pads which were made specially for our boats. Was told the omnibus is around $600 and the pads $125 each. I plan on ordering spares soon so I know I have them. Will also be ordering a set of spare Legend hull decals and a pair of the plastic V20 emblems. He already sent me a pair of the hull decals but with fishing cypress trees a lot in spring having another set wouldn't be a bad idea.
Hokiev20 I'm very glad to hear that! That just shows what kind of guy he is, It definitely eases my mind. It's good to know that's an option in the future if need be.
Curious about this issue. Seems like any structural problem they had in 2014/15 models causing the sag would have been corrected in later models and certainly by the time 2017's came out. I noticed that in the pics that the sag is not in the exact same spot but one is in front of the tie down strap holder and the other is more centered. Did these problems develop over time or were they obvious early on. If took time to develop what caused the warping? I thought there was no wood in the boats to rot/warp?
It all depends on how much you fish, and where you stand on the deck while fishing. If you bought the boat, and hardly ever fished, it would take longer for the area to weaken. I fish every weekend, and my area started sagging pretty quick. I still have not fixed it, i need to..... just cant go without the boat that long. As I mentioned earlier, the fix only takes a couple of days..but I witnessed a V20 that sat for over a month waiting on Legend to send the carpet.
"There are 3 types of people, those who can count, and those who can't"
I got in my 2017 and walked around that area and did not feel much in the way of give. I pounded on the floor and it feels supported in the area. Wonder if they did a fix in 2017. At mu age I sit and fish about half the time unless the technique forces me to stand. Hope I can avoid this issue.
Yes it was fixed on late model Legends
Well the boat that my buddy has is a 2017 so I don't think they fixed it.
My build date was in April-May of 2017.
What do you mean by late model Legends and how do you know this please.
By late model I mean the newest ones, this was a know issue on the early V-20, at some point the structural support was beefed during the build process, lots of stuff about it online, I'm guessing this is probably one of the reason the brand got into financial problems. I just don't know when the fix was put in, but if you had one built in 2017 or this year I think your probably safe. I would contact the factory in midway or the repair facility in texas for more info.
(WOW) That is really disappointing. I would be almost in tears if that was my boat
I have a 2017 v20 and I just noticed today that the front deck on the left side is sagging as well. I'll give them a call Monday
