OVER / UNDER! 2024 IKON LX21 BUILD REVIEW ($$$)

OVER / UNDER! 2024 IKON LX21 BUILD REVIEW ($$$)
The new iKon LX21 has raised the bar in so many ways from it's innovative Livewell system, to it's build quality and last but not least it's ride. Y'all have been asking for the OVER/UNDER and it's finally here! Records will be smashed, opinions will be formed but at the end of the day...This iKon boat is, in our opinion, one of the highest quality built boats with the one of the best rides in bass boats today. It's costs money to be #1 and that's a fact.
** These prices are at the absolute highest end of MSRP and through negotiations with dealers the prices could be $5k to $10K cheaper **

[@Everarmed89]

This is why I have respect for Andy and the Team Marine channel. He has every reason to shill for Ikon given the other videos he’s done with Ikon but he’s honest with the O/U

[@prestonbonner2456]

He wants it about 20k cheaper. That's still way over priced.

[@MrBash82]

Andy, I applaud you 👏. You got this one right. It is OVERPRICED! If you remember, last year, I called and told you, "HCB Yachts here in Knoxville, TN is building a new bass boat." I saw the new Ikon at the classic. It's really nice. I realize only a small group of people can afford the boat. 99% of those who buy it will never catch the fish they thought they would to justify buying it. The industry is headed for disaster. When bass boat prices get close to saltwater boats, something has to change. Great video!

[@adamsnelson4689]

Yup , they don't build bass boats anymore for blue color workers , they now build them for upscale yuppies that has extreme wealth or endless credit cards

[@kirkreusch5704]

Great respect for the way you handle yourself. Honesty is just so dam important. Love it! 👍🏻❤️

[@ThumperSpinnerbaits]

I have always been loyal to Skeeter. But, when I priced a new one in 2020, I could not justify the 120k price tag. There is certainly no way I can willingly spend 140+. I went and bought a Nitro instead because of the price. The boating i dustry is just getting to pricey for many people. A lot folks will balk at even 90k for a boat. Hopefully the big wins in major tournaments in tin boats will help start balancing the market some.

[@mikepayne8126]

Thank God someone finally said it. The industry is out of control. But even a 100k is outrageous. If I can purchase a home cheaper than a boat, there is a problem. I said this after the Gambler video. The industry is pricing out there biggest market. The weekend warriors are being left behind.

[@chrisspencer5268]

Keith Poche style boats are looking real good now.

[@craiglafosse8086]

So I had a chance to check one out. It was passing through coming back from the classic, one of the two headed to Texas. It's definitely a beautiful boat. Lots of saltwater influence and super wide, it's a massive boat. Love it but I'll wait 20 years to buy one, I'll be able to afford it then

[@muffintop5577]

The exact same thing has happened to the car industry. They have overpriced their suvs and trucks and now they can't sell them. They're just sitting on the lot. A man tries to go purchase a basic light duty pickup these days and it's starting around 50k depending on the dealer. ridiculous.

[@justinbuckles120]

Excellent video as always and very honest opinion. This is definitely becoming a problem and killing the weekend tournament angler’s trying to stay competitive and it’s not just the boat companies

[@Jschuhfishing]

I’m glad you said over priced, I would have definitely called you a kiss ass. Earner my respect. I haven’t heard you say one bad thing about the boat so I was thinking there may be some bs happening behind the scenes but I really appreciate the honesty.

[@alexkoutdoor]

Good for you Andy for speaking the truth. That's what the people need. Build great quality for less. This is the challenge that these companies should put on themselves.

[@MichaelP-Fishing]

Andy and team, man have I enjoyed finding your channel. I was in the market for a new bass boat when I happened upon your Ikon videos. I was instantly impressed with not only what I saw but also the educated comments and opinions you were making about what you were seeing in the factory as well as your experience with it on the water. I was sure this was the boat that I wanted and then...the over/under video came out. Again, your comments made sense and while I was disappointed I was ready to let the Ikon possibility go as I ultimately wanted the right boat at the right price. You mentioned in passing that if this boat was at the 120,000 mark it might be considered "under valued". Well long story short, I picked up a fully loaded Ikon, much like your build, that had been used at the tradeshows with 6 hours on the boat at a number close to the 120,000 mark. While it's still a lot of money I feel much better about the purchase because of your honest remarks and your high praise for Ikon and the Ikon team. Thank you for your video. It made a difference!!

[@TeamMarineService]

Awesome Michael!!! We are happy to help and we are glad you ended up in the iKon.

[@scottolson331]

If everybody paid cash like actually counting out your hard earned money to the seller it would be real like when you got 50 thousand counted out to the seller I dont care how wealthy you are you would say WTF and walk away, and thats just a 50K boat can you imagine counting 100k worth of C notes to buy a boat. I count out 1600 to Katrina at the shop to fix my junk and I get the WTF am I doing feeling. Good work Andy really honest as always.

[@davidkeppler8851]

The best part was you had a previous video where you said that they claimed they weren’t gonna be the cheapest but they weren’t gonna be the most expensive. They are by far the most expensive boat and that’s even including the very small production boats that are very expensive.

[@mmancino1982]

It's getting to the point I'm like "can I afford a $142k boat? Easily. Would I ever spend that on a boat? Abso-freakin-lutely NOT." The industry is insane

[@TeamMarineService]

What do y'all think? OVERPRICED or UNDERVALUED? ** These prices are at the absolute highest end of MSRP and through negotiations with dealers the prices could be $5k to $10K cheaper **

[@rogercastle2434]

overpriced. i make a nice living, but 140K, no way!

[@livingmissourisoutdoor6815]

Made for the rich of the rich to be somebody. Look what I got scenario. Value of a home 🏠🤔

[@theINQBS]

If Nitro can sell for literally 50% less than this, so can Ikon and everyone else. Johnny Morris doesn't have some secret network of supply chains where he gets things at significantly lower prices than everyone else. This is the Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet effect, whereby simply offering the same thing others make at outrageously ludicrous prices make it seem in the minds of many as though the product is worth it. Guess what?… It isn't! And this is actually worse because Boats depreciate more than almost anything in the world, and watches like those actually appreciate in value because more schmucks can't wait to own one given the farcical limited availability "created" but the brands/manufacturers themselves.

[@bartwithrow203]

Way overpriced for the guy who makes 80k and has a family. I hope they never sell a boat.

[@clarence1149]

For that price it should have a shitter like the allison

[@codyhooser3333]

WOW, Speachless!!!

[@davidgosper4517]

Andy, you don't purchase a bass boat, taking less options, like a third screen, Lithium batteries. You didn't add transportation, dealer preps and sales tax. With all I mentioned, your at 157 to 160. I purchased a Caymas CX 19 with 36 Lithium, Lithium cranking and electronics 3 12 126sv power pole charger, up grades on trailer, 120 force, keel, hydraulic jackplate, custom color, custom cover, the works. The boat runs at 72, stability great, rides great. A tip if you can pick the boat at the factory, and take to the dealer, which I did, save a ton on transportation and delivery time. I live in Florida, and Caymas in Ashland City, TN. Took it to the dealer, in Dalton Georgia. Also the limited dealer network, they will not compete, like other brands, except Bass Pro brands, for your business. I saved a ton shopping 3 dealers in 3 states.

[@tailorbaggins2541]

Why are you comparing a 19 foot basic boat to a 21 foot fully built out flagship type boat?

[@hondrahawthorne2512]

Thank you TEAM MARINE.

[@911Getsome]

Much respect for the gut, honest opinion. Don’t forget good old sales tax. May as well call it 160 K out the door.

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

I love bass boats, and the Ikon, but man… it’s crazy what they cost now. Add in taxes and interest rates going so high.. And I’m not sure how people buy them. You are right, I could see a huge market correction in prices down the road.

[@johntrotter9887]

Thanks so much for honest review.

[@timroyall6513]

As much as I'm sure the new Icon is a great boat, that's more than my house! No way is a bass boat worth that. Great vid Andy, glad that you are keeping it real! Was afraid your trip to Icon would have swayed your opinion, but you tell it like you see it. Keep up the great work!

[@tdflooringtd]

Thank you for being honest, I just bought my first new Bass boat. Sold my Lund and bought a loaded 20ft TRx patriot for $69k , yes there's probably faster and better boats but 75mph and a massive deck with Active live and the ghost its a bargain in comparison.

[@rickysullivan5844]

How the hell can a normal blue collar man afford that ikon I think is a great boat manufacture but jeez a normal bluecollar man cannot afford any bass boat so how are we supposed to get into the sport when we work out ass off and can't afford any brand bass boat?????......Mr. Andy I love you videos and love your honesty on boat brands

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

The build price referenced in this video is the Manufacturers “Suggested” Retail Price (MSRP). You can contact a dealer for a competitive price quote. Not sure how else to explain that part. The LX21, loaded out, is our largest, most expensive model. iKon will be introducing a 20’ model this summer and a 19’ model early next year. We will also be releasing a VLX model which will sell for less. Plans are to have a boat size/model to compete with everyone. As far as speed goes, my LX21 that is referenced in this video, is purposely completely overloaded with electronics, gear, and tackle for testing purposes. The boat is 21’10” and runs 68mph all day long. Less rigged boats have tested at 70.

[@williamgardner9596]

The average middle class fisherman can’t afford 80k bass boat much less one that cost 147k. Why Nitro sells more boats

[@bkknightfishing1499]

I ordered one, was far less expensive then 140k, the pricing from dealer is fair.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

@@williamgardner9596 There’s a difference between MSRP generated by a youtube channel and the price you’d actually pay at a dealer.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

@Jay Bee well Jay, understand that as much as Andy knows about boats, he’s still a KZbinr that wants views. The price he quoted was the a maxed out MSRP. If I need to explain that to you then I’m wasting my time. Also, try to understand the cost associated with building a boat and that the “actual” price of an iKon isn’t really any different than some others.

[@Harikarikillboy]

@@ChuckPippinBassFishing I think you’re missing the point Chuck. Even $120k is just way out there beyond the reach of most of us. Research, design, build etc we all know ain’t free or cheap, but we’re talking a boat. Something that if you ain’t a professional is very hard to justify that much of an expense. I hope y’all make it, displace the guys at the top, but quite frankly there’s been very few that make it and at y’all’s price I don’t see y’all being around long term. You can make the greatest boat the world has ever seen but if people can’t afford it don’t matter.

[@johngaruccio7897]

Thankyou Andy for telling it like it is!! I respect you and I know you were involved with it but once again as I stated before there out of there bleeping minds!!!!! The working man as myself can not afford these!! I’m near retirement and I’ve been saving a nest egg for a new bass boat someday but I would rather find an old Champion and have you put a new motor on it . I’m one of your 95percent of the people who won’t buy it

[@brianbell1851]

that is nuts , you can get a 2023 SKEETER 75TH ANNIVERSARY FXR21 loaded up for 100K

[@mediaspeedfilms1334]

Gotta pay to play I guess! I'm more interested in that 20 and 19footers price. They should be more competitive there. Kudos to Weidas Marine for helping Andy out on this.

[@theINQBS]

And this mentality IS the biggest issue today. Too many people have adopted this mantra and it's literally WHY these companies charge the insane prices they do. Just like the automotive industry, if you stop buying at overinflated prices for long enough, these same units will be reduced by literal thousands of dollars… Masqueraded as a "DISCOUNT", when in fact at reduced prices they're still making a killing.

[@jasonw500]

I saw one of these up close at lake of the ozarks this weekend. Looks nice!!! I am sure it eats water but wow, 2 to 2 1/2 times more than I paid for my Caymas cx 19, depending on set up!!! Maybe my kids can afford one if I die in the Caymas and life insurance pays out!!! Great vids Andy!!! Keep it up

[@michaelmaldonado5680]

U can buy a super car at this price. This is ridiculous...so relieved that u were honest

Can you do a video on a run through of service interval comparisons. Like the Mercury 100hr and 300hr service kits vs. the competition's. And then do a follow up video actually showing the service.

[@josephlassiter1412]

We have come to the point where we all want the electronics setup like you listed for any boat. Only problem is we're trying to find a boat that's affordable.

[@911Getsome]

Andy, How would you compare the ikon in overall build quality and performance to the bass cat comparable , like a jaguar or puma …I paid 86 for my 2021 jag. 250 pro xs. Bobs hyd plate, Garmin single front and rear. Live scope included, no poles and standard batteries. Thanks for this over / under. Well done.

I love your thumbnail pics. I have 3 kids so not much money play with. I bought a 16ft aluminum lowe skorpion with crappie package, for 15,500. Have had loads of fun catching fish. One day I hope to afford something bigger and nicer.

Holy Crap!!!!! Technology and wanting to be the top guy on the block has done this to the industry. A good boat is as near a hand made machine as one can find today but for the electrical system. and I may have shown my age but the tech has gone Ape Crap Crazy. I don't need 5 screens on my boat, I don't have poles and fish the same places those who have them do. I dont see how the Bass Fishing industry is going to support all these boat manufactures as it is.Only a few are going to survive the next ten years.

[@Patrick_Garrett]

It's all about precedent. If 1 person buys an ikon then every other manufacturer will use that as basis for insane pricing holds that will cause a market reset. As a millennial who is smart with money, I'll be glad to have the pick of the lot when the boat industry finally shoots itself into he face and can't give em away fast enough. I can catch plenty from the shore until then.

If I had 142,000 to blow I’d jump on it. The boat is awesome. I’ve actually got to see one on water. I left it behind in my skeeter 21R.. lol

[@tannerherrington8914]

My issue is that I just couldn’t justify that money either. I can go out and get a loaded out basscat that’s 1-3 years old for 65-80k? So almost half the price? I just can’t see them selling a large number of these a year.

[@Maxiumus_Mausimus]

Because it’s used? Obviously this boat isn’t marketed at you. It’s for the top 1% of the industry. How many 21ft glass rigs do you see on the water? This is for the top earners who bass fish.

[@Nowwhatfishing]

iKon is great quality, I watched your videos and decided to buy one. I made a mistake, it’s a really nice bass boat with terrible performance. It needs a 300 motor to get it past 62mph. Wish I would have known before I bought.

The price is higher than other boats but until you ride in one or see it up close and actually feel the lines you won't understand. Im Completely sold on the boat. There is no plastic in this boat. That is huge and it's one of the major reasons I trade the Rangers.

As an owner of a Hydrasport, I can attest to the quality of the build, but the price for this (or ANY) Bass OR Flats Boat is ludicrous and all people have to do is refuse to buy at these exorbitant prices and WATCH how quickly they lower them to a more reasonable & affordable price point. It's a damn BOAT… Not a house and people shouldn't have to pay a mortgage to own one, at last not in the small form factor of these small boats. Even $120K is insultingly and grossly overpriced! The quality of this though is no better than the other 3 bBass Boats these same people made over the years, and the Stratos 201 Pro XL is still the benchmark in terms of everything in my experience. A Sea Hunt 265 ultra Ranges from $134K - $155K and that's LEVELS better than a measly little bass boat. WHAT exactly are you getting that's even comparable to a bigger boat? A literal Metric Ton less materials and far lass capability for the same money… It just makes no sense. You Sir are doing the community a great service by providing the info you do and I can only hope people take notice that they've been paying way too much for far too long and something needs to be done to bring the industry back in check.

@@mandogfish7418 I am not trying to be disrespectful in anyway, because I didn't always have it. At one point in my life I lived in my truck. Yes, even at $140k I could buy it outright like I did my last boat. My take on Nitro doesn't have to do with money. The ride is terrible and the components break too quickly. I would rather buy a different brand used vs a new top of the line Nitro for the same price, all other things being equal. .
