Do you guys know anything about Epicriders boat? Also could you buy the wake plate and put it on a boat that did orginal come with it?

There is a recess in the hull for the factory plate, so it won't fit your hull if you don't have the molded in area. I heard from a little birdie that the plate is necessary to keep the boat from porpoising with weight in the trunk. If it were me, I'd just buy a Bennett adjustable wakeplate with the remote control. It would be way cooler and more flexible as far as adjusting your wake on the fly. Supras come with them, see a Supra dealer to check them out.

Waveboy,

I ran into the owner of an Epic 21 over the weekend in Pewaukee.  He's got someone who will buy it in the Spring, but he'd prefer to sell it now.  It's a black and white 1999 Epic 21 (direct drive/covered bow)with 300-ish hours on it.  It looks to be in nice condition.  He said that he maintains it at Skipper Buds in Pewaukee.  He'll throw in a barefoot boom.  He's asking $20k.

If you are interested, please send me your phone number or e-mail address and I'll put you in touch with him.

I was over in Tucemseh the other day to buy a peace pipe, but the store in Wakawepa had bought them all out so I drove to Pewaukee to try that...no luck.  I guess that new guy in Little Medicine Bow is scooping them all up due to shortages at the factory in Panaskofua.
hum...small world.

Festivus, you've got the Wisconsin spirit!  Actually, the towns around here are Pewaukee, Oconomowoc, Muckwonago, Muskego, Waukesha and Mequon.  Our lakes are Nagawicka, Okauchee, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc and more.  These are just the ones that are a stone's throw from here!

Believe it or not, I saw the Epic at a gas station as the owner was filling it up, so I stopped to ask him about it.  It is a small world.  Anyhow, if anyone is interested just post your e-mail or phone and I'll put you in touch with him.

It does look like a nice one.

That S22 is from where I am. I can look at it if anyone is interested. Looks nice, never seen it on the lake.
