CRAZY LOVE
Cruise, beach, and picnic ready - this meticulously maintained Legacy 28 Express Cruiser is perfect for weekend getaways or coastal adventures.
Overview
CRAZY LOVE is a beautifully maintained three-owner Legacy 28 with just 851 engine hours. Built by Legacy Yachts, she reflects the classic Downeast-inspired elegance and seaworthiness that the brand is known for. Her hull was designed by the late Bill Langan, whose timeless designs are celebrated for combining graceful lines, excellent handling, and practical functionality-qualities that shine in every Legacy 28.
This vessel has been enjoyed on the Neuse River, Pamlico Sound, and Bogue Sound under careful ownership. Recent upgrades include new canvas (March 2022) and fresh deck paint (Total Boat Dry-Edge 2023, Petit Tuff Coat non-skid 2025), along with routine maintenance and meticulous fiberglass waxing. Powered by a 315-hp Yanmar diesel, she delivers quiet, efficient cruising with virtually no diesel fumes thanks to her underwater exhaust.
Well-equipped with Garmin electronics, autopilot, bow thruster, and extensive factory options, CRAZY LOVE is a ready-to-cruise, comfortable express cruiser-perfect for a couple seeking classic Downeast style, modern amenities, and a proven Langan-designed hull.
