Not out of the question if I move to the coast but those 450’s are so yesterday. 500R’s for the win.

My iKon LX21 runs 67 - 69 mph all day long and it's loaded with electronics. A lot of the speed issues people are seeing is due to improper jackplate settings and lack of battery weight when they switch from AGM to all lithium. It's a 21'10" boat with a 98" beam. Hull weighs approximately 2,100 lbs, so not that heavy for such a big boat. However, if you throw the center of gravity off by loading the front with electronics and take all the backend weight out, it will cause a loss of speed. The LX20, at 20'10" long is less sensitive to battery weight because and most are running around 70 with a normal tournament load.

Jacob Wheeler probably doesn’t give 2 cents who passes him.

Your whole narrative is based on a false premise. This boat isn’t a 100k boat because people pay it- it’s a 100k boat because people want a fancy boat with all the fixings. These boats don’t just magically drop in price by half if the market slows, they just quit making them and start selling cheaper built models.

This. It’s not even the price. I just don’t want a 60 mph boat

An owner just got on here and said it’ll do 69 fully loaded.

I think i will wait till they are $200,000+ and then start looking at one. Always room for improvement so I want to see what the updated version is like.

Wow,,,,,my $30,000 boat will do 76 fully loaded.

Just wondering,,,,do owners of the Ikon boat also have a $30,000 Rolex watch that gives you the same time as a $30.00 watch.????

No disagreement here. I wouldn’t buy one, but I still think they are nice and it’s childish to bash a guy that decides to spend his money on one.

What kind of vehicle do you drive? What about your house? Cause a tent will work fine and who needs wheels when a pair of boots work just fine…. See we all make choices…

Tents don't have running water, toilets, air conditioning and heat. Boots are too slow and will take too long pulling your boat to the lake,,,,, wheels are better.
Do you live in a tent since you think it is just fine???? I don't think living in a tent is just fine.

I could’ve bought one and did give them a hard look. Spent a lot of time crawling around in it at Sartins. It just didn’t wow me enough to spend $130k minimum. Boat is very well built but other than that, nothing just jumped out to me. As far as the extra width up front. It was a flip flop total. So about 6” on both sides. But the hips stick out where I don’t need the extra width anyway.
But I honestly felt that there is no way in this economy right now, that you can come anywhere close to making $130k back after 2 years. So we ended up going another direction.

There was a time, not all that long ago, when it was ok to have an opinion that was “different”. Now we just call it jealousy! I personally wouldn’t spend that much money on a boat, especially one that’s really ugly, but then that’s just me. I do hear they take “asphalt” pretty good!😎

I seen one for the first time this week at the lake. The owner was nice enough to let me look it over. I don’t know how it handles on the water but looking at it, it looks pretty sharp.
