Boat Reviews

Reviewed by Richard Crowder

The 21 Genesis Fusion is one of nine pontoon models from seventeen to twenty-five feet offered by this Canadian company. All Legend pontoon boats offer pointed nose cones with spray-deflecting lifting fins, dual-purpose full-length keels, three separate pressurized sealed pontoon sections for safety in case of puncture, EZ-drain tubes in the pontoons, all-aluminum motor-mount transom, stainless steel bolts and fasteners for the decking, 7-layer decking with a Lifetime Warranty against rotting or warping, raised deck fencing with anti-vibration foam-backed panels, roto-cast no-rot seat bases, and all-metal and synthetic top construction.

The 21 Genesis Fusion is well designed for flexibility of use for both family cruising and fishing. For family cruising, it features Legend’s exclusive SmartDeck which is a stern double-width sunpad mounted lower to the deck with a surrounding raised safety rail, plus flip-up changeroom and convertible to a two-position fishing platform. These same two removable and optional high-back, swivel seats can then be mounted at the large dinette table with integrated drinkholders opposite the helm seat.

Further seating is provided on a lounge seat with storage below immediately in front of the rear SmartDeck plus two forward, rounded, facing lounges, again with storage below. Three entry gates with posi-lock latches provide easy access to the deck. A sliding adjustable captain’s chair with armrests faces a molded dash with woodgrain panels and built-in tachometer. An aerated livewell with high capacity pump that can also double as a cooler is built into the rear lounge seat.

A bimini top with 1 ¼” anodized aluminum frame is standard. A half-enclosure with front playpen cover, or add a full enclosure conversion kit to this, or go for the full enclosure as available options. Custom pontoon trailers are also optionally available as are several choices of upgraded Mercury outboards from the standard 15 HP EL 4-stroke. You can also upgrade the helm console to a deluxe version with integrated sink with an endless supply of lake water. You can also choose an AM/FM stereo with two speakers and an MP3 port, and a removable tinted windscreen for the console.
