His Ikon boat was really nice. It’s well thought out with a lot of the wiring really easy to get to. All the lids fit really well. Lots of storage for tackle also. Boat rode great I thought. I have a Ranger and the quality was much better.

If that is truly the top speed it has to be the slowest full size bass boat on the market. I wonder if they are propped correctly from factory or what-

I wonder if they are propped correctly from factory or what- It’s a floating tank. Being a tank could be a good thing. A lot of boats these days have hull problems. When that occurs they can be forever fixing them. I know 3 guys who were out of their boat for a year or while getting the manufacturer fixing their hull. One Ranger, one Nitro and a Bluewave center console. With prices these days you need to be able to get 20 years minimum out of a hull. 63 mph is fine for most users. Exception would be those making their living tournament fishing where long runs can be make or break. It would be interesting to know what boats she the highest percentage of warranty hull work.
