Where this came from
iKon is HCB Yachts' tribute to the original Hydra-Sports bass boats that graced the water nearly fifty years ago. Jacob Wheeler partnered with the same team of yacht engineers who draw HCB's offshore hulls to build the first Legend and Victory Series.
Engineering
Not a feature list. Each of these is a named, trademarked system — the reason a $77,000 bass boat can share DNA with a $2M yacht.
HSS · Hydrodynamic Stabilizer System
The hull combines naval architecture strategies proven in saltwater fisheries with the performance a bass boat needs on a lake — stability, comfort, responsiveness and speed through the chop that stops a lesser hull cold.
A two-piece stringer and deck architecture built to buy back fishing real estate. The forward locker holds 21.5 cubic feet — more than 50 Plano boxes — and the rod locker takes thirty-six rods at 9′8″. A tall gutter system keeps water out of the rear mechanical hatches for good.
Auto-fill, auto-circulate, auto-oxygenate, auto-dose, auto-temp. Built on livewell technology that keeps bait alive in coastal saltwater for days, adapted to keep your catch alive through a full tournament day. A quick-connect fill lets you top off a weigh-in bag without leaving the cockpit.
A six-spring suspension seat pulled from automotive design, mounted in a helm layout that lets you see the whole boat underway without standing. The insulated cooler holds a case of water and a backup cooler, and converts into a third seat for bigger crews.
Plug-and-play wiring harnesses and a dedicated NMEA box, so six batteries and four screens don't fight each other. Every harness is tested to the same standard the rest of the boat is built to.
New for 2027
A smart vessel intelligence platform, not a gimmick add-on. It runs quietly in the background whether you're at the dock, offshore, or miles from the boat.
Real-time monitoring and remote system access, so you know the moment something changes.
The platform tracks system health and flags what needs attention before it becomes a repair.
Every trip logged automatically — useful for warranty history and for remembering exactly where you were.
A Starlink Mini satellite internet option, new for 2027. Compact, powerful, and built for anglers who fish well beyond cell coverage.

Every iKon is laid up, wired, upholstered and assembled in the same building HCB's yachts come out of. Nothing here is subcontracted out.
