I'm a retired teacher. It's out of my price range too but it's still top of the line and will find a niche. It takes a lot of engineering and design for this level of complexity and convenience. I appreciate that and understand the cost. Most don't. The build quality is exceptional. Thanks. I'll have to get by with my 02 Champion.
To the guys complaining about price.... yes it's pricey but it's not much different price wise than Bass Cat, Vexus etc. It does have unique features that no other boats have. It also appears to have top notch build quality and design. There are boat brands that cover everyone's budgets. A loaded up Nitro is still over $70K. On a side note.... Chris Malone is the man! I bought a 2024 Phoenix from Malones last September. He was very easy to deal with and I highly recommend working with Chris.
It’s worth what people are willing to pay, and I’m sure they can’t keep them in stock. Same goes with everything in America. Somehow people are still buying this stuff. They sell surf boats that are well over 400K! And people buy them.
I get it. It's way out of my price range, but I feel like they have some great things going for them. They are very expensive, but I'm hearing the vlx is "more affordable." whatever that means.
Yep, if I ever hit the lottery this would be the boat I would buy by ikon they are down in Florida they be pleasure cruise boats, plus I watches this dude in Minnesota YOU TUBE CHANNEL team marine he walk Through the company where they were building it check him out
I can understand what you mean. It's way out of my price range and most others as well. It is a nice boat, though. I hope to see some of their features on other boats soon.
57k........that is what it is worth. That is considering consumables and labor plus 20%. You say you are a teacher....Teach! You would have to be a moron to pay or build a boat for more than that.
I am a teacher. However, I’m not a boat building engineer like yourself apparently. I don’t know what consumables cost for boat building, so I’m not teaching anything. Since you’re well versed in the costs of boat building and can keep the costs below $58k, seems like the boat you make will put every other boat builder out of business.
@@OnAnotherLine Sorry....my reply looks and reads like I am calling you a moron. I meant it as a teach the kids to not overpay for something that is way overpriced. I do apologize.
