LINDA LOU

Downeast LINDA LOU

The Legacy 36’s traditional Downeast styling provides both comfort and proven stability while underway or nestled in its favorite mooring field. Beautiful at anchor or at the dock, this gorgeous Mark Ellis hull design is known for her head-turning looks wherever she goes.

The hull design uses a modified deep V hull, with a wide chine and centerline flats extending aft to produce a sea kindly hull that gets up on plane at low speeds. This combination delivers great performance and handling characteristics- and with excellent fuel efficiency. Under the water is a keel/ skeg combination that offers superior tracking and great protection for the prop and the rudder. Forward, the sharp V entry allows the Legacy 36 to handle the toughest conditions, while keeping the ride smoother, quieter, dry and stable. 

LINDA LOU’s owners are experienced boaters, with an extremely detail oriented Captain. He loves his boat but felt it could track a little better. He consulted with a naval architect and hired a local yard, adding a few pounds, reinforcing the drive shaft a bit more- and it improved the ride enough that he felt it was money well spent. He visits the boat at least once a day and has retained a professional technician to visit his boat once a week, maintaining and servicing anything he feels it needs to be kept in tip-top shape. It shows.   

The Legacy 36 is a perfect couple’s cruiser. Features such as a center island berth, separate stall shower, generator, heat and air conditioning make this one of the most comfortable boats in this range. The helm deck salon beckons you aboard while the luxurious, handcrafted interiors make you want to never leave.

“LINDA LOU” is a great example of these beautiful boats and certainly won’t disappoint. There were only 11 of these hulls built, so they are rare on the market. Call and make an appointment to see her for yourself before she is gone!
