American Made HDPE recreational boats.

Resorts, lodges, outfitters, and rental fleets need a boat that loads guests at sunrise and is still on the water at sunset. Twenty seasons from now.

The Legacy Difference

A boat built by the team that answers the phone.

Every Legacy hull is engineered, welded, and finished by one crew under one roof in Wyoming. When you want a change, the person on the other end of the call is the person holding the welder.

01 / DESIGN

Drawn for the way you use the water.

Your build starts at a CAD station with our in-house naval engineers. Beam, seating, deck layout, motor configuration, and hull thickness are spec'd for your shoreline, your guests, and your operating conditions.

02 / BUILD

Welded by the people who drew it.

No vendor handoffs, no overseas fabrication, no waiting for a translator on the build floor. The engineer who answered your call walks past the hull every day until it ships.

03 / SUPPORT

Backed for the life of the hull.

A Legacy boat is a twenty-season asset. We answer build questions, repair questions, and customization questions for as long as the boat is on the water. Same team. Same number.

"I'm very impressed with your craftsmanship and how clean everything turned out. You have the structural integrity to be abused, but lightweight and very clean."

The Material

Built from recovered pipe.
Ready for every weekend.

HDPE is the only hull material that doesn't rust, rot, or fade. Beach it on rock. Leave it in the sun. Skip the winter shop visit. That's why we build every boat we make from it.

Material properties of HDPE
01 / IMPACT

Hit the ramp. Hit a rock. Keep fishing.

HDPE flexes and rebounds where aluminum dents and fiberglass cracks. No gelcoat to chip. No rivets to pop. Beach it on a gravel bar, bump a submerged log, drag it up the bank at the takeout. It shrugs it off, and it does it quietly, with none of the aluminum clang that spooks fish and game.

02 / UPKEEP

No rust. No paint. No winter project.

HDPE is inert. It doesn't rust, rot, corrode, or blister, in fresh water or salt. No bottom paint. No anodes. No gelcoat to buff. Hose it off at the ramp and put it away. The boat you launch this spring looks the same twenty springs from now.

03 / SUN

Left in the sun all summer. Same color.

Carbon black UV stabilizers run all the way through the material, not just a coat on the surface. No fade. No chalking. No cracking on the trailer or the lift. Ten summers of sun and it still looks like the day you brought it home.

04 / STABILITY

Floats even swamped. Steady with the whole family aboard.

HDPE is lighter than water, so the hull holds positive flotation even fully flooded. Density of 0.95 g/cm³ versus 2.7 for aluminum. A stable platform to stand and cast from, light enough to tow behind a smaller vehicle and launch on your own.

05 / REPAIR

Hit a stump Saturday. Back on the water Sunday.

HDPE is welded, not glued or riveted. A gouge or a crack fixes with a hot air gun and a strip of the same material, in your own shop. No fiberglass cure time. No dealer wait. A bad day on the water doesn't write off the boat.

06 / RECOVERED

500 miles of pipe. Recovered, not extracted.

Every Legacy hull starts as decommissioned HDPE pipe pulled from oil and gas fields, washed and reclaimed in Wyoming. 100% recycled, 100% recyclable, made in Wyoming. A fraction of the carbon footprint of aluminum or fiberglass, and a boat you can feel good about handing down.
