Thank you for the kind words. Champion made a quality boat with an incredibly smooth ride. The hull was definitely a positive change for the industry. We believe our LX and VLX (coming soon) takes it up a notch providing a premium bass boat thats built to last. One test drive and the quality and craftmanship will speak for itself.

Great point and we definitely consider all points of view. View points that are critical are just as important as positive ones. This is how we will continue to deliver the the highest quality vessel with the best features for the best price. We want to ensure each iKon Boat is a solid long-term investment.
Wow, that's high praise coming from a deep V Ranger fan! We're thrilled that our bass hull design has caught your eye. What features are tempting you to make the switch?
Would love one but with this economy and looking at the future of gas prices I don’t think I’ll be getting another bass boat. I’m just gonna trick out the duck boat. Y’all got a very high quality product but I think this recession is gonna bring down the current boat market as the current state of car dealerships are showing. I’m rooting for y’all too survive and thrive.
I still have my dads 94 hydra sport good to see they are bringing them back the old hydra sports was pretty notorious for filling up your back pockets with water if you had to shut it down in a hurry good to see the fixed that
Good to see you're still enjoying an original Hyrda-Sport. Yes, we've eliminated all backwash when the boat comes off pad. We'll have some short videos available soon that will show that.
They seem like sweet ass boats, when you have Champion fanatics like Andy Hauser from Team Marine Service (great YT channel) saying these boats drive and handle better than a Champion....you know you have a solid boat.
Great question! While our core focus is on bass fishing, we're always considering new avenues, maybe a walleye boat could be in the future. What aspects of a walleye boat are most important to you?
Dual consoles will be modular, and should be available in the next few months. Anyone that purchases a boat before they're available will be able to add a passenger side console.
Our 20' option will be available this summer. The 19' option should be available next year. As far as an 18' option goes, it is not currently in our plans. We do, however, expect to have boat sizes and models available for all fishermen. So, nothing is out of the question.
Whats the top speed and when you come down off plane do you get water coming in over the transom. My Triton has no back wash at any speed but I have been in many that fill the boat if your not careful.
Top speed for the LX21 varies, depending on how the boat is rigged with bow & console electronics, accessories, tackle and gear. We speed test our boats rigged and weighted (tournament loaded). A lot of manufacturers publish test speeds of "empty" boats. An LX21 speed tests at an average of 67 - 69 mph, depending on air temp, humidity, and elevation. The LX21 is 21'10" and has an approx dry hull weight of 2,000 lbs. There is no backwash when going from plane to sudden stop (neutral).
Mine runs 68 mph all day long in Central Florida. If you've seen some of the videos, my is way over-rigged with electronics, gear, and tackle. A completely empty boat will test over 70mph. The main thing is that it'll run faster in choppy water and tournament takeoffs than most because of the hull design. The 20' model is supposed to be out in a few months.
@@stopcrying518 It's not a Gambler... We speed test our boats weighted (tournament loaded). They're designed to run at top speed in both calm and choppy water.
We understand that perception, and while our first boat release (LX21 & LX20) are high-end, they're crafted for anyone passionate about getting the most out of their fishing experience. What features would you like to see in a more budget-friendly option?
We understand that our boats are a significant investment. They're built to offer an unparalleled experience for those who are able to make that investment. We're always exploring options to make them more accessible including our VLX Series which should be released next year. In the end its our goal to create a bass boat for every budget. If you were in the market for a bass boat, what features do you find most compelling?

I ran a hydro-sport back in the day,,,wish i could afford one of these now,,looks like one bad ass boat im bout to old to pond fish now😂
I have a Champion and never thought I would even consider getting anything else. But this boat has me thinking.

People complain about price, then complain about quality issues of a lesser expensive brand. You don’t get one without the other.

@@ikonboatsare you making energy changes on the LX21 and the next month or so?
i'm a deep v ranger guy!! but i must say this hits me to sell my rig and switch back to the bass hull. Very nice boat you have there!!

Literally picking up my first brand new bass boat today (not an Ikon)...this made me sick to my stomach 😅 that livewell is amazing
Thanks! We appreciate that, but hope you still enjoy the boat you purchased. We'll be here when you're ready for the next.

@@ikonboats I’m keeping my dads boat but I have done been looking to trade my boat for one
@@EddieButler-fv9tr That's great! We'd love to see you in a new iKon.
Did y’all say personal storm shelter bwahahaha i love it.
Yeah! That's how big it is. lol
@@ikonboats if i order this boat i could sleep in it after the wife kicks me out.
Well, you'll have plenty of room for yourself and all of your belongings, but we hope it doesn't come to that.
@@ikonboatsoh it will
Nice Boat, now the trick is can you make it affordable ?
starts at 106k and up
The days of affordable new boats are over
We will have 19' & 20' models available soon. In addition to the LX models, we will also offer a VLX that will be less expensive.
They seem like sweet ass boats, when you have Champion fanatics like Andy Hauser from Team Marine Service (great YT channel) saying these boats drive and handle better than a Champion....you know you have a solid boat.
It was great to have the guys from Team Marine come and put our boats to the test!
amazing
Thank you for the kind words! We strive to be nothing short of amazing. Do you have a favorite feature?
I love bass fishing but also other species! Are you going to hit other markets……like walleye boat!?
Great question! While our core focus is on bass fishing, we're always considering new avenues, maybe a walleye boat could be in the future. What aspects of a walleye boat are most important to you?
When are you going to have a dual console option?
Dual consoles will be modular, and should be available in the next few months. Anyone that purchases a boat before they're available will be able to add a passenger side console.
Let Keith poche put it through the test and then we will see if its worth the money
We tested our hulls through much worse than you could imagine before introducing them to the market.
Will Ikon release a 18 and 19ft option?

@@stopcrying518 good luck running even 1 footers at 85. and who cares about dry. what it run fully loaded. in 2 footers.

@@Rob-tl9md Exactly our point. Bass tournaments are about catching more and bigger fish than your competitors, not about racing.
I saw an over under post. $150K loaded. That is stupid expensive
That's not accurate
I don’t have 150,000.00 for a bass boat, but it sure is nice 👍 long ways from the old flat bottom with a Johnson 7 1/2 😂 !!!
Thanks! Just so you know, they're not $150k
That boat is for rich people!
We have a VLX series in the works. If you were in the market for a bass boat, what would you consider an affordable boat?
This boat is for the millionaires fishing club, not the working man’s fishing club!!!
We understand that perception, and while our first boat release (LX21 & LX20) are high-end, they're crafted for anyone passionate about getting the most out of their fishing experience. What features would you like to see in a more budget-friendly option?
Hope the 5% of fisherman that can afford this buy it I guess

Over $140k. No thanks
The price you are stating is a bit off. However we do appreciate the feedback
