Күн бұрынTEAM TALK: 2024 IKON VLX21 SPECS RELEASED! (AFFORDABLE & FAST???)
We are one week removed from the Classic and wow did iKon drop a bomb on the bass boat world! The VLX 21 is here and it's promised to deliver both affordability and speed. Did you say affordability & speed Andy?.....In an iKon? Yes i did! We called up Scott Womack at iKon and he went through the entire spec sheet from standard equipment, available options to the secret details of how they pulled almost 10 mph more out of this rig. You ain't gonna want to miss this one. Enjoy!

78k is only affordable for some, still crazy expensive, Ill stick with my well maintained 88 ranger bass classic package still runs and everything works, easy to maintain with the 93 Johnson fastrike, its an Incredible motor, it made your top 10, i agree 100%

Just got on a team deal with them at 19, they have blown a lot of people out of the water, was talking with sales until 11pm eastern and they closed at 4 for the weekend. Talked to them all day long on Good Friday while they were closed. Outstanding people and outstanding service.

For Ikon to do this is awesome. The industry really priced out the majority of people wanting new boats. Thats a competitive price, with the quality of Ikon, sounds like a great bang for your buck.

I still feel like that's 88,200 before taxes and delivery so it's still over 90k. I even think a new nitro is now insanely priced. I priced a z20 in spring of 2022 and it was 57k before taxes and delivery with poles, Hydraulic jack plate, 3 12" screens with a live transducer. They couldn't oder it yet due to scheduling. I went back in July and it was now 87k and I couldn't choose any options for trolling motors or screen brands.

Everyone talking about how $88k is highway robbery probably need to keep running their 25 year old rigs, because you are not the target demographic for new boat builders. Fishing is an expensive hobby and anyone on any budget can enjoy it, some of us just prefer the creature comforts and technology. I own businesses and I charge as much for my products as the market will bear. I'm sure I could get by charging less but getting by is not a sustainable business model. I looked hard at the first version of Ikon that came out and probably would have one right now but the top speed was a deal breaker for me, now that they have revised their product I will take a long hard look at the VLX when our local dealer gets one in. Good for Ikon for listening to the people.
