GNFISNPosts: 208January 10, 2007 at 5:54 pm #520893They are a fast hull. Not like a bullet or stroker but they are in between, and have a good rough water ride. Many people swear by them. But they aren’t a Champ.
January 10, 2007 at 6:00 pm #520898I’ve never even heard of Legends being mentioned in the same DAY as Bullets and Strokers!???? I’m not dissing the boat, just that they aren’t in that class…
They look a lot like a deep haul Cobra to me.
January 10, 2007 at 6:12 pm #520910I have looked into them and they seem like a nice rig.
However, you can look here and see from the guys who own them that they are like 17 mph slower than Allisons and Strokers at full load… Legend Owners Board
72-74 mph Full Load for Legends…
5 mph faster than Rangers
1-2 mph faster than Stratos
5 mph slower than Blazers
9 mph slower than Bullets
15-17 mph slower than Stokers and AllisonsJanuary 10, 2007 at 6:15 pm #520912Quote:

They basically ARE a tweaked Cobra or Hawk. Same guy designed them, Legend bought out Hawk.
January 10, 2007 at 6:17 pm #520914wher does the skeeter fit into your list? rode in 2 zx-225 ‘s last year that gps’d at 76–loaded
January 10, 2007 at 6:22 pm #520918Was that in the Spring (cool water) BFL running down-river with the current high?
I’m no expert, but I’ve fished enough tournaments and passed enough boats to know what the new, big, tricked-out boats are “supposed” to run.
I have no doubt you were running that fast, but there are always “conditions”…
January 10, 2007 at 6:26 pm #520920If those speeds are accurate, that would fall into the ballpark of the Stratos. But I bet some Stratos guys would beg to differ.
Who knows…
January 10, 2007 at 6:26 pm #520921dont remember the river being high at all this year
day 2 of stren
bfl pdc
both hot as a mofoJanuary 10, 2007 at 6:29 pm #520927Nort, you may need to re-read my post. I said they are a fast hull,NOT LIKE A BULLET OR STROKER. If you follow the legend threads enough on BBC they tend to be a mid to upper 70’s boat.
January 10, 2007 at 6:38 pm #520933I was just saying I didn’t think they were that close. I’ll give Champs more love…
This past fall I fished a tourney down on pool 19 and there was a 20 ft-ish Champ with a merc 225 pro XS that I could hardly get by and I was GPS’ing 79mph (full load in the morning). The dude pulled up to me at the end of the tournament and we talked. He was asking what I was running and I was asking him!
Those Champs can run if they’re setup is right…
January 10, 2007 at 10:07 pm #52106279 gps loaded? You had a CO with you too? thats FAST
I remember going around 72 with you and My dad and me in the boat this fall..I would love to say I could get 20 outta my boatJanuary 11, 2007 at 12:57 am #521145Quote:
Qoute, “A Champ is not a Ranger”
Amen and thank god for that.
Dito…Eric, remember how much longer it took for that Z to get to the lock!

Yes I would.
January 23, 2007 at 5:51 am #526320My buddy bought one of those blazer deals….he says it skitter-walks like mad after it gets over 70, at 79 mph i would be scared $^%&less if it was skitter-walking! nort what about yours?
January 23, 2007 at 5:56 am #526321oh yeah and my old ’86 Champion screams! It tops out at like 61 mph empty! Thats when the old ’93 Johnson Fastrike Silverstar Series 150 doesnt have a powerhead problem. Still got love for the Champ though!
