absolutely gorgeous boat. if i had to nitpick anything it would be the center cap on the steering wheel is upside down. lol again awesome boat, if the emblem being upside down is the only thing wrong with it i would call it a grand slam.
Ikon certainly seems like a great boat, but Phoenix, Basscat, and Skeeter are all comparable in quality for a 21 footer. I just bought a new Skeeter FXR21 and list price after rebates had the boat starting at $71K. If you’re paying more than that for a 21 foot new boat in this market you’re over paying.
@@BassFishingFanaticTV The VLX is under 100K rigged. It sounds like a better built boat as far as standard features and quality than the Skeeter's. I called today and priced one and it'll be about 90-92K depending on how I want it rigged with electronics.
I test drove the Skeeter, Phoenix and iKon, iKon is by far the best boat. Its not even close. I didnt drive the basscat but the build quality seemed subpar compared to the iKon
I’d like to see an on the water review. Speed, handling, fishing stability, tilt side to side etc. get an idea how this would compare to a 21’ Phoenix or Skeeter.
@@TheCarhartt1 It's faster than the Skeeter's & Phoenix. Top speed is said to be 78 mph with half a tank of gas and one person with a light load. I'd also like to know how the handling/chine walk is. I test drove a Caymas 21 and the chine walk was aweful with lithium batteries.
I got so annoyed trying to go through the skeeter video reviews but theyre all videos of just YOU talking and yapping about things majority of anglers know. No boat tour nor real spec talks. Who is behind the camera? Why is it just on you the entire time? SHOW THE BOAT. My god lol
Fastest way to lose $30k right here . Another super over priced boat that will lose you some money fast . Unless they come out with something in a reasonable price range ikon will go the way of hydra sports . Worst time ever to come out with a $126k fishing boat
2024 Yamaha 250 SHO: $23k 2024 Skeeter hull ~$15k Power poles $5k Fish Finders ~$4.5k Trailer- made in house by skeeter biggest cost to them is the rims and coating probably costs ~$1,5k per trailer Bottom line it’s a $50k boat priced up for manufacturing profits and seller profits and to offset inflation costs. I know everyone needs to make money etc but unreal pricing on top of a nation avg 8% apr(that’s the lowest) for boat loans.
I wish you would respond to this comment. I love Skeeter but at low RPMs it bounces until you reach 4000RPMs. I like to run at low RPMs like 30 mph but I want a smooth ride. Can you comment on this please. That is what keeps me from buying one. Please let me know your thinking. I am not worried about top end speed.
Ugliest boats in production. Not to mention how overpriced they are. From what I hear they are very slow too. White boats are overrated, they're boring. Ikon wouldn't even be a brand I would consider if I were ordering a new one
Great video brother, Obviously you get what you pay for. I have a Charger 395TF with the Yamaha VMAX 3.1 OX66. Willing to do a Trade when Nesaria/ Gesara kicks in here shortly. Remember my name, because I'm fixing to Retire and fish everyday!!!
Fishing culture is turning into something horrible. Not only the price of boats. It’s everything that involves fishing. Graphs, lures, rods reels. It’s ridiculous.
We talked to 5 of the top boat builders in the bass boat market. Every single company said pricing was their focus. We asked "if you could make a boat for a bass boat for $50k with electronics would you do it?" Ever single company said yes. The days of $40k-$60k are behind us unless the cost to build these boats drops significantly.
