Legend Boats – Henry Nguyen – “Legend Boats has been a proud supporter of The Sportsmen’s show since the early 90's. The Sportsmen’s Show has always been a breath of fresh air to our long Canadian winters and breaks up the cabin fever feeling. We attend this show to showcase our new models and provide customers the ability to take advantage of our early pre-season promotions and availability of product for pickup. As we head back to normality with shows, the Sportsmen show will continue to play a key part in the marine industry for Canadians many years to come”
