When are you getting one?

In 2012 a Ranger Z21 was around $64K today around $110K

In 2012 a Ford F250 Lariat diesel was around $43K today is around $85-90K


It seems the cost increase of bass boats is in line with the cost increase of most major purchases. The only thing that has not increased for a lot of Americans is their earnings, so things are now unaffordable.

How can you say they should lower prices or can lower prices without having a knowledge of their build costs? I would think like most Indus that their payroll amounts have increased the past 2 years in order to retain employees.

I just bought a new Caymas, not in the market right now, maybe in a year or two I will get another itch but I kinda doubt it.

They aren’t a startup….

I think a lot of people are not aware of that fact.

It's as if people don't read...IKON is a brand of a well know boat maker.

From their website, "As a tribute to the original Hydra-Sports bass boats that graced the waters almost a half-century ago, HCB Yachts proudly introduces the new iKon boat brand to the marketplace with their first LX21 and LX20 editions."

It's not about the company going out of business, it's about them terminating their high dollar bass boat project

I think your missing my point. I covered it in a different post. I dont know about the boat industry but i havent seen many wages going up anywhere, just the cost of everything. But, my main point is if, IF people would quit taking it then we could really change the landscape of cost without effecting wages or anything. Lets say people stood together and went to a boat manufacturer, just one, and said we are cancelling or will not buy another boat until prices decrease without cutting wages, jobs, or quality. They would either comply or get put out of business right? Then just the effect of that would impact the whole boat industry because others would see that people are fed up. Same with autos, houses, etc. It can be done, the problem is we wont do it

You are dead wrong about wages going up, I have wheel barrow pushers making 20,00 an hour, I have fry cooks making more than that. You are missing the point, what makes you think the boat builders are making all this money ? Do you have inside info on what their overhead is ? If people quit buying boats tens of thousands of workers would lose their jobs, sounds like a hell of a plan, lets band together and put the boat builders out of business.

Respectfully that’s just not how business works. They have a cost of doing business and a small profit. It’s the cost of the raw goods and add ins driving boat costs, it’s not high margins from boat companies.

Just wait til they come out with a walleye boat with a 400 on the back, it’ll be 200k….😆

Which one???... Hell, we can't even agree on what our favorite flavor of ice cream is much less reel, rod, line, spinnerbait, outboard, 4 stroke or 2 crankbait, truck, SUV and you expect all of us to unite and confront a boat maker... Dan

HCB builds some center consoles that start at $3 million
