Andy, I gotta say yourself, Jordan and the crew put out the most honest content on the web! Your honesty, integrity and no BS is what folks want and need to see. You are America's Marine Mechanic and we trust what you say and value you opinion. I have learned so much in South Carolina. Gonna order me a hat and I'll take a pic at the Elite event on Lake Murray in April. Thanks for keeping it real!!!
Andy and Team Marine: What all of you are doing is excellent for the industry! Your honest opinions on the variety of topics pertaining to the boating industry is very much appreciated. The interaction on the channel is also a value to all that view it. Great video and review. Thanks again for all you do!
Dude, that is a bad ass hat you are wearing.The black and red looks really sharp, did not realize you had flex fit hats. Boat info was very informative also. Great job
Great video. Thank you for testing it out. Never heard of this brand of Bass boat. It looks great. I think Jacob Wheeler got one for 2023. Not sure but his walk-through looked the same. What happened to Triton? He always was a Triton guy. Can you share what you know?
Great boat! Great video! Having a degree in business, I have to determine the best value of this boat. It's worth a lot for you in the early 20s and living a long time. But buying at age 60s, you just making the grandson happy. IMO.
Thats huge. Heath Murphy taught me to drive my Ranger 521L, but I was impressed with how the G22 married performance with rough water handling. Having a boat that a high school kid or first time bass boat owner can learn to drive easily is a brilliant idea.
I had been fishing kayak events for a few years. When COVID hit, a local club switched to a catch-photo-release virtual format using the kayak bass fishing rules and TourneyX app. After fishing against Rangers, Skeeter, etc from my Hobie on Santee, I made the mistake of co-angling on a Skeeter. Yeah, I knew the Hobie needed a big brother at that point.
As a Tech I really love your reviews. It's great to see clean accessible thinking with this boat. Having the backup control pad is amazing. I have seen so many guys dead in the water because the control pad shit the bed. As much as I love speed on the water I will take comfort, control, accessibility and smart thinking over speed. Great Job Guys!
I really like this boat. I like the look I like the idea behind it. I just wonder the cost if they can get this boat under the 100k mark. I also hope they make an 18 footer with all the same technology and ideas as the bigger boats just in a smaller package and more affordable price for the working man.
I love this boat! I would like to show this boat off in the BFLs. These boats are amazing!! Thank you for showing off the boat from the eyes of a consumer and not from a fishing pro. We need more reviews like this! I will make the trip to see this boat and hopefully make a deal to get one!
When he said it drove better than a champion I had to watch the whole video. Never owed a champion but have drove them and it's the best riding boat I've ever been in including a older ranger.
Awesome video Andy. Luv your channel, always putting out great content and information. Also props to Jordan for all of his hard work putting out quality videos and the behind the scenes work no one sees. Luv Team Marine, wish you guys were in Florida. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’!
Nice looking boat just looking at on the tube.. And they really had the right man for the interdiction of new ikon bass boat... Andy I really enjoy watching all of your videos you are so inspiring entertaining and crazy funny!!! Keep doing the great things you do...... peace and love
Very impressed with the boat beautiful very well crafted no corners cut unfortunately will probably never be able to afford one but you never know miracles happen. Great honest review of boat thanks
Nice boat. I was able to see one in vonore Tn.. actually that looks like where you done your testing from? Great video but illl have to stick with my skeeter for now..
Bass Cat has pump out pump in without valves too. I really like the touch screen, up intil it fails. failed wires can easy be fixed, not a failed computer.
I grew up fishing with my dad in a Hyra sport boat. Wish they would have put that name on it. But they did do a lightning bolt on the side. This is a sharp boat!
I would love for this ikon to be my first rig. This is my generation of gadgets. Easy and access. This is me all the way. I can think about Catching that pig without having to worry about How my rig is Running. How about Letting me help represent a thugged out Craftsman's work like this. I was taking by the tablet like console. great work I can tell that that's center console is huge!!
The Tv is playing in my garage and I heard Andy say it rides better than a Champion and I took off running and almost fell down to hear what he had to say! 🤣
Absolutely speechless what a phenomenal job. Every single inch of that boat from bow to stern was thought about. And they definitely did not try to do it all by their self knowing that they are already successful in the ocean, theyEot afraid to outsource, and get ideas and help knowle66 from people that are already in the fresh water industry. That alone right there since them aside from those people in this world whether they are a company entity or just a single individual.. no one likes to ask for help these days.. the only thing I'm having trouble trying to wrap my brain around is the fact that we are in a year of 2023 and companies that are more no more prominent and have sold millions and millions and millions of dollars worth of product over the years have not come up with anything even close to that ideas of what these guys have came up with for the live well systems.. I mean that's freaking genius. How many times in a tournament have you opened your lids and measured out some G juice or some rejuvenate dumped it in the live well and kept opening and looking at the watercolor to see if you needed more every hour or so during tournaments?. That's damn genius.. I'm not even going to speak on the water temperature system that they have because the video speaks for itself.. Andy.. you have once again outdone yourself my friend. 2023 you guys have consistently kept the heat coming.. 🔥🔥🔥🚤💨🚤💨💪💪🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️✌️.. keep it up man, you guys stay safe, and we'll all be waiting around on the next one.... Big thanks to iKon boats. To Team Marine Service. To Andy, Jordan! EVEYBODY who made this possible.. hell yeah 👍 ✌️ 💪
I'm a die hard Gator Trax fan. Love my Strike and would NOT go back to glass, but I've liked everything that I've seen about this boat. My problem with fiberglass is that I am brutal on boats. I need something that handles getting slammed against a dock, a tree, and other objects. When I'm fishing, I'm fishing not watching what my boat rubs. I am NOT against the smoothness of fiberglass, just that it gets damaged pretty easy for me in the way that I use a boat.
@Team Marine Service can't beat the durability of the GT. Made to survive commercial fishermen. The things I would like to see the fiberglass world learn from GT are: a truly solid transom, internal bracing, truly dry storage, and deck drainage channels.
Andy!!! What's up!!!🤠 Let's Lake test the trolling motors🤪😜 trolling motors are used more and underrated🤑 still nice video!!!! And now I see why you losing your hair😁🧐
Awesome review of this bass boat. This looks like this bass boat will definitely give the competition a run for their money and iKon will just continue getting better with improvements.
If you are going for ride and comfort it's iKon, if you're going for speed and style is Gambler. If the iKon ride was a 10 the Gambler ride was a 9. Pretty close
My son has a champion , he absolutely loves it. The first boat he bought for himself, I like the smooth ride of a champ , but it’s slow also. Looking at ordering one of these in a couple months. Probably a test drive is in order.
Was planning on going to the Classic and would love to go and see this boat in person but one of my other big passions that is dirt track racing will be not too far from there but I’m going to hang out with alot of friends from over the country. Anybody thats going to the Classic and want some entertainment later that evening, come out to Bulls Gap Tennessee and watch some racing
Can't wait to ride in 1 to get a non-bias opinion, you can really get a good opinion on something from a person who is trying to sell you the product or has anything in on it. It'd be nice to have a motor trend type review for boats
Ain't no better opinion then ours in our view. We ain't paid by anyone and I fully fund this RUclips series out of my own pocket (at a loss every year) 👍🏻👍🏻
@@TeamMarineService Ikon no doubt has a nice boat, but y’all complain about pricing as it is, I’ve seen pricing for those and it’s worse than most. Every factory you guys go through you become a fan of those boats, please do yourself a favor and go through Vexus. Vexus is less money than Ikon and I still would put my money on Vexus making a better glass boat than Ikon, especially for the Great Lakes. They will let you take a VX for a spin at the factory as well.
I have and always ran a bullet , to me the ride and quality is hands down the best , not to mention the speed . After watching this video , I have to say if or when I go for a another boat , I will look at that boat , lots of features and comfort I really like
This is really exciting and interesting. I’ve ran numerous boats, been stuck on Ranger most of my life (ran pro craft, ran triton, ran skeeter, ran tracker), this has me curious and excited.
Man....thanks for the video! My next boat i am undecided on and have been in my 1999 180 premier Triton bass boat that i bought brand new in '99. I have narrowed it down to a Triton, Ranger, Skeeter, (maybe the XL Nitro, haven't looked at them up close yet) and now with those features on the IKON i will have to go check it out! I am a fan of huge decks and lots of rod and tackle storage. Keep us updated. Will probably go to the classic and check it out since I am only 3 hours away.
In my opinion it’s going to take 2-4 years to see if they have any problems and let them get worked out before purchasing one but overall this boat will compete with phoenix basscat ranger and skeeter without a doubt
OK, Andy. Let's talk about the recirc pump. What function the recirc pump is doing in this misdesign of livewells? Pumping the same water from the bottom of the livewell back to livewell. How is the oxygen replacement being introduced to the livewells? How is CO2 being extracted from the livewells? On average the LX21 price of around 135K with the bad livewell design is a bust.
Great job, the boat looks weird but functional, One flaw to me that stands out big is the rod locker is smooth no padding? This we’ll beat up my rods and reels traveling down water and road, Maybe they can put some more design into the rod locker? My only complaint
With the economy possibly tanking and a recession coming, I can't think of a worst time to bring out another luxury bass boat. Phoenix came out in 2008 so I guess someone else can, too I think the low top end will hurt...
In this industry, and especially on YT I take what most people say at face value, you never know who's throwing money at them to promote a product. There are a few channels out there that I believe everything they say, and you guys are definitely one of them. Keep the videos coming....and get back to that fkn champion already! Also, blast from the past videos, those are great.
Nice Video, What i realy like is there cabel-Management and how the perform the way how the open tha Batterie compartment....dammnnnnn! In my opinion they are view littel things what this company do well. 😊 Now i have to find a dealer here in Germany to get this boat, that whould be not easy... but i want this one.😅
You got my attention anything with a ride close to a champions ride is awesome but something that has a better ride 😳 where do I sign up 70 loaded is more than fast enough when the lake is throwing 4-5 footers your not gonna run that fast anyway I’ll take my back not hurting over speed any day. GREAT JOB on the review can’t wait to put my hands on one of these!
I’ve been looking forward to this video since you teased it a while back. As an angler in the market for my next bass boat, I hold your opinions in very high regard. I’m headed to the classic next month and I’m looking forward to checking out the center storage as well a more in-depth look at the stern compartment. Can’t wait to watch the over/under when it comes out!
Good job on the boat. However, I just saw the price on a 21' Phoenix with graphs Livescope etc. $118,000 then add TTL for another 12,000 makes it around 130 Grand If you pay cash. Now consider finance charges if you have to barrow after paying 20% down. I would be totally surprised if a company that builds Million Dollar Yaughts will set their prices below the Phoenix. I will keep my 203 Champion powered with the 250ss Suzuki. But my Thanks again for telling the story on the New ICON.
That's a sweet boat. Not knocking it by any means, I'd absolutely go nuts if I could ACTUALLY afford something like that. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying, I'd love to see some content on sub-$40k lake ready bass boats. Us poor blue-collar working guys can't swing much more lol great videos bud, great review on the new boat
Awesome boat! and sounds like a great company. Im glad you got the call, if their is one group I can count on for an honest review and not marketing propaganda its you guys!
Great content as always!! Curious of your thoughts on boat pricing. Yes Everything has gone through the roof since Covid. But I'm kinda tired of hearing that then reading reports of boating up 40% in last 5 years. Boat industry up 3 billion dollars. No shit when they've doubled in price. Lund aluminum 2175 base figures $140k. Loaded $160k. Is industry using covid and supply chain as an excuse to screw us as customers??
Andy, I gotta say yourself, Jordan and the crew put out the most honest content on the web! Your honesty, integrity and no BS is what folks want and need to see. You are America's Marine Mechanic and we trust what you say and value you opinion. I have learned so much in South Carolina. Gonna order me a hat and I'll take a pic at the Elite event on Lake Murray in April. Thanks for keeping it real!!!
Did I also hear him talking about a chilling plate in the live well to control temp? That’s been needed forever!!! Thanks again!
What do y'all think? Who's gonna make time to check this rig out at the Classic? Definitely worth it and tell them Andy sent ya! 👍🏻
Are you saying this boat compares to your favorite champion haul?
@@kwd1253 Rides better than a Champion 203 hull
Yes this hull rides better than a CHampion 203 hull
Thought you said the 203 was “ untouchable “ ? 😮
Other boat guy says, "Will it work today?!" 🙏
IKon guy, "I'm immortal!" ✊️👊 lol!
I just want to say this was Badass! Y'all are killing it man. No one else is doing anything like this for the industry. Great job guys
Thanks for the kind words Kurt

Finally.... Forrest L. Wood quality is back. It'll be great to watch this pearl evolve... Thanks for the vids and your time.
vexus is the true new ranger. ikon is just the ranger killer
I've been shopping around for a boat. Your analysis carries far more weight than hearing a salesman. Thanks for your savey.
As normal, you have kicked it out of the park. Honest, upfront, and informational. Great Job!!
Awesome video Andy! This looks like a legit rig
Thanks buddy! It is!
Great video. Thank you for testing it out. Never heard of this brand of Bass boat. It looks great. I think Jacob Wheeler got one for 2023. Not sure but his walk-through looked the same. What happened to Triton? He always was a Triton guy. Can you share what you know?
That boat is going to be a game changer! I’d rather run 68mph and not be beat to death at the end of tournament day! Keep up the good work!
Luv your stuff Andy..putting breaks on 521r..
@jordanmamman9843
Thx Jordan

Great boat! Great video! Having a degree in business, I have to determine the best value of this boat. It's worth a lot for you in the early 20s and living a long time. But buying at age 60s, you just making the grandson happy. IMO.
Home Waters there, Toqua Ramp on Tellico, lot of boats been tested out of there.
Andy, super happy to see your review of our boats!
Thanks again Chuck!!! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thats huge. Heath Murphy taught me to drive my Ranger 521L, but I was impressed with how the G22 married performance with rough water handling. Having a boat that a high school kid or first time bass boat owner can learn to drive easily is a brilliant idea.
Lmao, if you had to be taught how to drive a Ranger then you must have zero experience driving a boat?!?

Same here and I own an old Ranger.
I'm a 25 yr Champion owner..he said a lot. I currently own a 21 BassCat Cougar.
Very nice review! I wish you would also review the trailer! Thanks for a great job!
Can you give a current 10 best of 2023 Bass Boats. So where would you put this Ikon against all the others.
Not a fishing boat guy, but it's really cool that they invited you to do all this. Kudos to them
WOW!!!!! Their remarkable innovations will set the industry standards, raising the bar of quality back to what it once was.
Awesome video Andy. Luv your channel, always putting out great content and information. Also props to Jordan for all of his hard work putting out quality videos and the behind the scenes work no one sees. Luv Team Marine, wish you guys were in Florida. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’!

Another killer video.That boat is badass
Team Marine is #1
Y'all are AWESOME! Keep it up. MUCH LOVE✌️
Nice boat. I was able to see one in vonore Tn.. actually that looks like where you done your testing from? Great video but illl have to stick with my skeeter for now..
Ill be at the Classic to experience this. Cant wait to see this boat in person.
Looks like a bad ass boat.
But I just like watching Andy's hair blowing in the wind
Bass Cat has pump out pump in without valves too. I really like the touch screen, up intil it fails. failed wires can easy be fixed, not a failed computer.
That's a great bass boat! Looks like they though of everything. Love the video, great job on this Andy!

I'm a die hard Gator Trax fan. Love my Strike and would NOT go back to glass, but I've liked everything that I've seen about this boat. My problem with fiberglass is that I am brutal on boats. I need something that handles getting slammed against a dock, a tree, and other objects. When I'm fishing, I'm fishing not watching what my boat rubs. I am NOT against the smoothness of fiberglass, just that it gets damaged pretty easy for me in the way that I use a boat.
Oh yeah you need a tough tin rig! And your already in the best! We love GT's
@Team Marine Service can't beat the durability of the GT. Made to survive commercial fishermen. The things I would like to see the fiberglass world learn from GT are: a truly solid transom, internal bracing, truly dry storage, and deck drainage channels.
One of the best video u made Andy! Ikon looks legit and has things other boat manufacturers don’t have. 👍👍 price?
Andy!!! What's up!!!🤠 Let's Lake test the trolling motors🤪😜 trolling motors are used more and underrated🤑 still nice video!!!! And now I see why you losing your hair😁🧐
Nice job Andy more smooth than a champion that says a lot. I cat wait to see one on the water
Awesome review of this bass boat. This looks like this bass boat will definitely give the competition a run for their money and iKon will just continue getting better with improvements.
Which boat would your recommend. Ikon or gambler? I’m kinda torn between the two now.

1999 Cook Springs angler of the year and veteran angler Sky...Sky Vardaman helped with r&d on the Ikon. Sky.... Sky Vardaman.

That’s your picks? I’m looking as well here’s my picks . Caymas, Vexus, Phoenix and iKon.
That live well system is very impressive to me. Great video guys! 👍👍👍
It really is!
In my opinion it’s going to take 2-4 years to see if they have any problems and let them get worked out before purchasing one but overall this boat will compete with phoenix basscat ranger and skeeter without a doubt
that test was done 15min from me, i've seen that boat many times on the water or in the ramp!
OK, Andy. Let's talk about the recirc pump. What function the recirc pump is doing in this misdesign of livewells? Pumping the same water from the bottom of the livewell back to livewell.

They did not have the padding insert in yet. Had a shipping issue and they didnt arrive before we got there. They got ya covered on that front
Great to see you all use my local boat ramp! Wish I was there that day!
Looks like a nice boat that was well thought out. Now someone needs to do a affordable , quality 18ft boat. I don’t want fancy just built smartly.
Sexy boat for sure. Just plain gorgeous and well built. But I'll keep ripping it in my 202 champ. Simple, fast, and paid for :)
Think they will build walleye boats ever? Be interesting what they do on one of those?
With the economy possibly tanking and a recession coming, I can't think of a worst time to bring out another luxury bass boat.
Phoenix came out in 2008 so I guess someone else can, too
I think the low top end will hurt...
People have more money now than ever in human history!
When are we going to hear about the Power Pole Trolling Motor
Time will tell
What's the cost for a 21ft with a pro packages with a 250 hp

Was the hose for pumping out into a bag? Never did show that
Yes
Great video. Love what I’m seeing from iKon. Gotta ask though, is that live well pump as loud as it sounds in the video??
No sir it not don't know why it came through like that on cam
Andy love the vid! Your team knocked it out! Love your honest overview of the boat!!
Absolutely loved the video!!!! You did a really good job at going through the whole boat!!
Awesome video. How fast were you going in most of it?
68ish
Nice Video, What i realy like is there cabel-Management and how the perform the way how the open tha Batterie compartment....dammnnnnn!

Can’t wait to watch the over/under when it comes out!
Excellent review, sweet rig. Seems as though they thought of everything in such a flooded market.
Nice to see something new with amazing quality. Was the hot foot not hooked up or do you have the option to use it separately from the shifter?
Mercury has a recall on some part of their dts system
I’ll be at the classic. I think team marine should be there!
It reminds me a lot of my v20 I just bought in December.
Good job on the boat. However, I just saw the price on a 21' Phoenix with graphs Livescope etc. $118,000 then add TTL for another 12,000 makes it around 130 Grand If you pay cash. Now consider finance charges if you have to barrow after paying 20% down. I would be totally surprised if a company that builds Million Dollar Yaughts will set their prices below the Phoenix. I will keep my 203 Champion powered with the 250ss Suzuki. But my Thanks again for telling the story on the New ICON.
i am impressed with the detail they did put in on this boat.
Does a 2023 Suzuki 250ss have a alternator or stator.
And how many volts does it put out at full throttle?
Thanks love the channel👍👍
That's a sweet boat. Not knocking it by any means, I'd absolutely go nuts if I could ACTUALLY afford something like that. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying, I'd love to see some content on sub-$40k lake ready bass boats. Us poor blue-collar working guys can't swing much more lol great videos bud, great review on the new boat
U taking new ?
Awesome boat! and sounds like a great company. Im glad you got the call, if their is one group I can count on for an honest review and not marketing propaganda its you guys!
Another great video. Looks like an awesome boat. Agree to hold other boat companies accountable and keep pushing the industry.
Great content as always!! Curious of your thoughts on boat pricing. Yes Everything has gone through the roof since Covid. But I'm kinda tired of hearing that then reading reports of boating up 40% in last 5 years. Boat industry up 3 billion dollars. No shit when they've doubled in price. Lund aluminum 2175 base figures $140k. Loaded $160k. Is industry using covid and supply chain as an excuse to screw us as customers??
Hopefully other manufactures are working hard to catch up with some of the tech revealed in this boat. Thanks for the video, well done.
Interested to see the over/under video on the iKon 20 and 21ft bass boats. They are gonna be spendy.
Great look into this new rig. Looks like they really did their homework 👍
