Buying a Previous-Year Model: What Does That Mean for You?

When it comes to buying a brand-new boat, one of the best moves you can make is considering a previous-year model. These boats are fresh off the lot, never before owned, and come with the same standout features and protections as the newest releases — but at a significantly better price.
And here’s the thing: once they’re gone, they’re gone. So, if you’ve had your eye on the iconic style of the XTR-Series or the fish-first functionality of the F-Series, now is the perfect time to make your move.
A Seamless Buying Experience
You might be wondering if there’s a catch. Don’t worry — buying a previous-year model is just like buying a current-year boat. You’re still the very first owner. You still get the new-boat smell, factory-fresh features, and full manufacturer support. These models are stored safely and securely, so they arrive in pristine condition — no compromises.
From choosing your boat to signing the final papers, the buying process remains smooth, transparent, and stress-free.

Legend’s Industry-Leading Warranty
Just because the model year isn’t current doesn’t mean your coverage isn’t. Every Legend Boat comes with our full 6-Year WOWranty, offering peace of mind that rivals and exceeds the industry standard.
While most boat manufacturers provide a one- to three-year warranty on non-structural components, Legend stretches that to six full years — and up to ten years on select pontoon models (Q-Series LE, Q-Series, V-Series). That gives you a lot of worry-free, quality memory-makin’ time.
Here’s what you can expect, depending on the boat type:
All-Welded Series
- 3-Year Mercury Engine Warranty
- Lifetime Floor Warranty
- Leakproof for Life Guarantee
- Legend Glide-On 5+1 Year Trailer Warranty
- Legend ProTech 5+1 Year Canvas Warranty
R-Series (Riveted)

So whether you’re buying a fishing boat, a pontoon, or a deck boat, you can count on exceptional protection and long-term value — just like you would with a brand-new model. For a full breakdown of the Legend Boats 6-Year WOWranty, vist our website.
Incredible Discounts That Won’t Last
The best part? Massive savings. Previous-year models come with discounts that simply aren’t available on the current-year lineup. Here are a few standout deals:
- Up to $6,000 off family and fishing boats like the F19 Pro
- Up to $7,000 off pontoon boats such as the V-Series Dual Lounge Sport Pro
- Up to $10,000 off deck boats like the Vibe D23 FW
That’s money you can put toward new electronics, accessories, watersports gear — or just save for your next adventure.
Big Value, Same New-Boat Feel
A previous-year model gives you everything you want out of a brand-new boat — minus the new-model price tag. You get a full factory warranty, modern design and performance, and huge savings you won’t find on current-year models.
So if you’re looking to get on the water this season with confidence and a little extra cash in your pocket, don’t wait too long. Inventory on these models is limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
