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

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:

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.

Ready to dive into savings? Your dream boat might already be waiting.
