IKon boats?

[Engelmeyer]

They are selling plenty of boats. They sold over 150 just at the Classic. Thats more than Ballistic has sold in 5yrs.

150 boats at any show would break a world record, there aren't many dealers that sell that many bass boats for one brand...

I'm not sure they have retailed 50 since the Classic introduction. Not sure where they are if they have.

most of the talk i hear is they are stupid expensive and a waste. Slow too.

You mean there are bass boat owners out there that immediately hate anything new or outside the norm, or can't understand why anyone would buy something different that what they bought, or just generally hate anything that they can't afford? Maybe all three? Weird....lol!

Just to provide some clarification, I miss spoke by saying 150 boats were sold at the Classic. I spoke with a representative from iKon after the Classic and at that time they had 150 boats on order plus or minus. BTW for anyone who's in the market for a Ranger, Vexus, or Ballistic the iKon is in that price range, regardless of how people want to pay for them. IKon now has a network of 30+ dealers so clearly there is a lot of interest in this boat.

Why don't you send Al From Canada a message? He owns the joint and he's the one who decides if it's worth the bother of setting it up, getting an admin for the forum, etc.

It should be pretty clear by now that no BBCer who has seen this post (or the other one you made earlier in the year) has one.

Why would Ikon not deserve a page? They're selling boats. It's an interesting design. If you think Ikons cost too much then don't follow their page.

It looked as if Tyler Berger (YT BassFishingHQ) is his last video had one sitting in the garage...assume he'll post about it

The Ikons I've seen in person look great. I saw H. Shryock's new Ikon after the wrap and honestly the wrap kind of made the boat not as appealing looks wise to me. It's weird to me with a wrap on it. Might just be that particular wrap though.

I saw Tylers at the lake this fall. We were at the launch at same time. This boat has a massive front deck and storage was really nice. In my opinion its a sweet boat. Looks like it will handle big water nicely.

What's your connection with iKon boats? Do you own one?

The misunderstanding here is that 150 boats on order means that most likely 90% of the 150 are dealer inventory orders. Along with having 30+ dealers. This just means that dealership principals like the boats, not really proving that the customer base jumping at the opportunity. Regardless, I like the boat concept. They should have their own sub forum. But lots of smoke and mirrors about Ikon sales at the moment. Will they be fine? Yes, but it takes time to build a boat brand. Regardless of the Hydrasport and HCB connection, they need some time before they start pumping out numbers that are satisfactory to the owner group. However, I am sure they know this.

I'll be a future owner at some point in the near future. I have had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly several times at the factory. She's a gem BTW

Can always put them in the Rare Boat Brand group.

I don't think I've ever seen a boat look better with a wrap TBH.

Those 150 boats on order how many were dealer only orders? First year numbers are always high as they build out there dealer network. It will only be clear in the next 2 years how much interest is out there. I do think Ikon will be around for the long haul though. I just don't see them selling 150 boats a year to actual customers. Just my opinion

[Boat4Life]

I see Ikon boats almost daily because we have a local dealer who sells them, along with Falcon and Allison boats.

[fishnfireman]

I've yet to see an Ikon in person. maybe soon.
