    There must be a Major design flaw built in to the legend Boats v-21 v-20. For them to just stop making a profitable boat. Unless the owners got paid over 17 million by JD. Legend could have scaled back a little if in trouble. Or maybe a partner was involed and they both didn’t like each other and wanted out. But to can a business putting out 400 Boats a year at 70k a pop. Something went south! Just don’t know what did.

    in this economy too. I’m thinking design flaw. Somebody found something and they both looked at each other and said ( o shit we are ducked) !!! They said ( O Shit what are we gonna do) hey remember that offer JD offered us let’s take it!

    Legend was putting out 240 or so per yr. Takes longer to build when your not using cheapass premade plastic parts. Just sayin

    It’s irrelevant at this point. I opt not to listen to a bunch of fan boys talking crap about something they have never owned and couldn’t afford to buy if they wanted to. The 211r was a fantastic boat. The V-20 had some issues, however, they are still one of best riding wide body boats ever made. They are absolutely the best looking boat, and the had the best fit and finish in the industry.

    If they are going away why is Triton bringing back the TR hull? JM spent 10 million on the Triton brand and getting them their own facilities?

    Right, these types of statements is why I stooped to there level and commented on the stringers, I am sad legend is gone as well, I was hoping for some improvements when WR bought them

    Couldn't agree more! I've got friends that want to buy my 16 V20, and i just can't bring myself to sell it. There's not a single boat on the market that I think does it all better, to lay down the money for!!
