Picked up the new boat!
« on: February 27, 2012, 11:25:30 AM »
Just got my new sled home... hadnt posted anything about it on here but its a 20' willie legend. Any of you guys that went to the portland or puyallup sportsmans shows have seen this exact boat. I had an 18 on order from them but after the shows they made me a killer deal on the 20 that was already built. Couldnt afford to go with the etec in the pics so i went with a used 115 merc. Should be fishing it in a couple weeks once the motors done and rigged!

Killer boat! I have a couple of buddies that have willies and they are a great boat to drift out of! What degree bottom did you go with?

This is actually a flat bottom... I wouldve like to have gone with a shallow v boat like the predator or fusion but this boat was about half the price and i was set on a willie and dont intend on running it anywhere its gonna be too choppy lol

Flat bottom boats are really nice for shallow runnin and are great drifters as well! You are going to be really happy with it! They are a great boat!

love all the open space... could have a little disco in there... always wanted a radar arch just so I could hang a disco ball...

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.
