Why Buy a LEGEND? Ask Pro Angler Shane Barling…

Welcome to Shane our latest LEGEND Pro Angler who has the amazing LEGEND Alpha 199 with a Pro XS 225 on order with his custom specs. 

Here’s a bit about Shane – his recent fishing feats and why he bought a LEGEND from HyperMarine…

I am married with 2 children Aaron 10 and Rylee 12 (she is the next fisherman in the house) and Julie the very understanding wife that helps me with my addiction.  I have been fishing for as long as I can remember and tournament fishing for about 5 years coned into it by a very good mate Dean Gamble (thanks Dean)…

I have been reasonably happy with my results in the Vic bream tournaments and classic championships except I haven’t yet got the big one yet.  Have had every placing from 2nd to 15th (and some we don’t want to know about)

  • Vic bream mallacoota 03/11   2nd  10.66kgs (72 entries )
  • Classic championship 11/10  9th 6.58kgs
  • Vic bream gippsland   08/10 2nd  9.34kgs 
  • ABT mallacoota   09 big bream 1.61kgs
  • Classic championship  11/09 sydney 6th 5.58kgs

Why buy a LEGEND ?  Well, here’s what I think…

I have been looking to upgrade my aluminum boat for 12 months now for a more comfortable ride with a bit more room and Speed.  I’ve looked at a lot of boats, asked a lot of questions and haven’t had a lot of feedback from the dealers until I came across WAYNE at HYPERMARINE.  The feedback, service and information I have received has been exceptional.

The finish of the boats is great | The ride is comfortable and at 60mph in the rough you feel like you are still sitting in an armchair | Storage – well its going to cost me a fortune to fill the compartments up | Colors just so many combinations to choose from – and this was the hardest thing in getting this boat ordered | Delivery 12 weeks to get a custom built boat to my specs, exported  thousands of kms, electronics fitted, water tested, custom cover made, and ready to go fishing ( I cant even get a plumber that quick! )
