2012 Legend 18 Xtreme Tournament Boat

Hi Everyone,

We have been working very hard on getting this boat ready for the 2012/2013 tournament season. I wanted a boat that would handle bigger water and also skinny water (2-3ft). I’ve chosen the 18 Xtreme as my tournament boat, it offers a full Windshield, massive livewells and a ton of other features that I will talk about in later blogs.

Legend has rigged the 18 Xtreme with a Mercury 115HP 4-Stroke, Shorelander Glide-On trailer and the brand new Spitfire propeller. Other accessories I added from the Legend Brochure were:

  • Spare Tire
  • Tire Carrier
  • Bow to Stern Cover
  • Fenders & Fender Cleats
  • Safety Kit
  • Motor Support
  • Custom Boat Numbers
  • Ram Mounts

Johnson Outdoors has been kind enough to donate a Humminbird 898c SI Combo unit at the driver’s console and a 798ci HD SI Combo unit at the bow. They have also set me up with a Terrova i-Pilot 80LB thrust 24V trolling motor with a quick release bracket and 27 series deep cycle batteries. Having the 898 at the console, i’m able to side scan the bottom up to 100ft on each side of the boat. This saves me a ton of pre-fishing time looking for structure and objects that I might want to fish later on.

Northstar Marine Insurance in Barrie,Ontario has stepped up to the mic and sponsored the 18 Xtreme this year. They offer great coverage at a very affordable price. If you are looking for insurance on your Legend Boat. I highly advise you talk to Jared and the team at Northstar Marine Insurance. They will show you the advantages of going with Marine insurance. Thanks Jared

The performance of this boat is just amazing. My hole shot with the 4-blade spitfire prop is phenomenal. I don’t lack any top end speed and my turning radius has increased substantially at low and high end speed. The draft of the boat is only about 18 inches, so i’m able to play in the thickest of weeds with no worries of touching bottom.

Fishing tournaments you have to be prepared for the nastiest of weather and having a deep-v, I’m able to drive my boat in those conditions. The full windshield keeps me dry and the deep-v provides a smooth ride across the roughest of conditions.

Well, thanks for reading. Stay tuned as I turn the camera on myself, the boat and hopefully some fish.

Cheers
