Default Since today is a nice bright sunny day..

Yes it's a degree or two above freezing and with memories of the weekend visit to the Halifax International Boat Show, I'll taks a brave step and show a promotional video of my new boat.
This video shows items in a beige colour that went to black on my 2012 model.
Boat came with a full stand up canvas protection. I upgraded to the Mercury 60 Big Foot outboard,Deluxe Contour swivel seats and galvanized trailer, bought a travel cover, engine cover, transom saver etc.

Nice boat, and just the right size for what you want to do on the water.

Trouble is the dealer had the 18 and 20 foot Xcalibur models next to my 16 model at the boat show. That 18 would have been a good compromise for an extra $5k, but I would have had to buy a better tow vehicle right away.
Also saw the ComPac Sunday Cat sailboat. A bIt pricey at $26k including the trailer and mooring cover but it had me dreaming.

Back in the day, about 75% of the runabout style boats my dad sold were
in the 14-16 foot range, with 25-40 hp max outboards for use on Long
Island Sound, which can get quite choppy. The last few years of his
dealership, he switched to Merc outboards and every manufacturer started
to offer larger boats that required larger engines. But the smaller
boats are still popular on the Sound. I still see lots of 16-footers
every summer when I visit Connecticut, although they tend to be plastic
rather than aluminum.

I've had a summer's use of my Legend.. took it home mid June of last year.
Found it great for chop 2 feet & under...above, not so much.
But just dropping speed makes it quite comfortable. It's a fairly heavy boat at just over 1000 lbs plus that heavy motor. With the 100 gauge aluminum and injected foam floor/sides plus built in torsion bar system it seems sturdy enough. Time will tell, I guess.

Looks like a fun boat. Not familiar with the brand. Is it aluminum?

Yes, they claim to have a .100 gauge thick aluminum bottom and sides.
It sure seems solid compared to the Princecraft Yukon.
These boats are made in Northern Ontario and seem to offer a bit more than the competition for the buck...at least up here where everything is a bit more expensive.

Nice thing is..they include the items most people may want and show the somewhat fixed price right in their catalogue.
Bad thing.. they start off with undersized motors to keep prices low so you automatically have to 'upgrade' right from the get go.
