That was my maiden voyage and didn't push it not knowing what it was capable of... But I got a few break in hours on the engine and caught a few fish... I realize they're not for everyone... Dan

Im not sure honestly. I'm really really interested in an Ikon but NO idea how they ride or fish. Like said above, if money was no object I'd run a Simmons Rev 25 with dual 450r ALONG with an Ikon LX 20

I'm perfectly happy with my Phoenix PHX, but my next boat will probably be my last so I plan on giving Ikon a good hard look.

Best bass boat made.

Its hilarious people are recommended Johnny boats. Steer clear of bass pro for quality bass boat manufacturers.

You happy with it? Wasn’t sure about them since bass pro owns em now

They put their “touch” on them here and there. Lol. They’re about 98% Ranger now. roflmao

Why would you RIVET the lids on, I have already had to drill out one hinge and replace it with stainless steel screws.

The majority of the build and design is still Ranger. Fit and finish is excellent on everything, even what you can’t see.

Night and day ahead of skeeter.


Ranger Z520 guy.

I would buy a Nitro over a Skeeter.

There are ruts in I-20 from the owners taking them back to the factory for warranty issues. Thats not a knock on Skeeter. It's a fact. They are good looking boats but their quality is terrible.

I would look hard at Phoenix. I have a 9 year old Triton that is serving me well.

Basscat. Only because they changed my mind when I saw the boat that hit rattlesnake island and almost killed it's passengers had nearly zero damage. I couldn't believe it.


When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip!

Nitro quality is great. It's just all the little sh*t thet didn't care about that are the issues usually.

1. Basscat
2. Phoenix
3. Ikon

Wouldn’t even look at anything Johnny Morris has cheapened. Ranger, Triton, Nitro. No thanks there’s better options.
