Refering to the center step with seperate shallow storage.
I think I have the step you are talking about in my new 2012 211.
I just think in a boat of this class, it doesn't fit the bill. I love my legend and the staff but this thing belongs in a bass tracker not in a 60,000 boat. A plastic box wrapped in carpet with a 50 cent snap is not what this boat deserves.
This is what I had in mind.
p.s. the passenger rod storage needs to be optional, I have yet to have a co-angler make a boat payment and the added storage will give a place to have a spare prop for those of us running 36 volt systems.
I am not trying to step on toes just Constructive Criticism. I know everyone has a wish list for their perfect boat.
That is a huge difference. I think I would rather have the center flip down seat than that center box.
Options are certainly nice. I would also like to see the passenger rod locker as an option. I have yet to have an passenger that has really used it and of course we can always use more storage.

Take a kid fishing.....let it be the wave of the future!!
All these are very good ideas, but I would like to see a 22' Bay boat
How about a 199 with a center rod locker?

more storage- it has the least that I ever saw for such a big boat
Legends have as much storage or more than most others... just not in so dang may compartments that you forget where you put something. I like have everything in one large compartment and plenty under the seats... that many other brands don't have.
But if they would raise that center cooler/dry storage lid to flush with the rest of the deck, it would be perfect!
Just saying...

Brett,
Is the insert a functioning lid, or just a spacer?
Thanks

It is not a funtioning lid...That is why they have added the GloveBox type door to access the comparment.
I would prefer changing the mold to a flush compartment access lid, with an integrated re-enforced seat post base. It is much easier to access to access the compartment from the top than from the side.

If my only option were that step up or the center seat, I would probably choose the seat. That cover is very generic in the grand scheme of a Legend boat. The Ranger center console is nice, but I have seen many with broken latches and most have gone back with a strip of velcro (cheap looking). Champion has/had a very nice center console with a rear opening lid that was very effective. It had matching leather arm rests on each side with a center opening.

Yeah, I'd like to see the factory put one of the "Legend" non-skid step pads on every bow coming out of the factory!!!
But I'm a bit partial to that thought anyway...LOL!
That's the center rod box I have. I love it because I can run from the front to the back without tripping on the fold down seat. Accident waiting to happen if you ask me.
