You will love your Epic even more once installed.  My wife thinks it's the greatest gift I ever gave to myself!

I agree. I had it on my X22 that RioRat so luckily owns now. I should never have sold it with the boat since I knew I was buying another toyota.

It arrived today but did not include the special bracket for the throttle body that is shown in the installation document.  Is it not required anymore or what?

[bullet1w]

You still need the bracket.  They should have included it.

If you ordered from Perfect Pass call them and tell them they shorted you the bracket.

The bracket was in a small plastic bag stapled inside a page of the directions lol.  PP is installed and can't wait to go test it out Saturday.

Brent. How did it go?

It went perfect. I ended up with the KDW set at 60 with no ballast and 4 people in the boat (1 riding). Acme 3 blade prop.

The only thing that still bothers me is that on turn arounds I expected it to hold a better speed. It would shoot 3 mph over the set speed coming out of the turn. During a straight pull or with v corners it would stay with in .5 mph. Usually w/in .3 mph which is better than most or all other boats I have been on.

I love the new big displays and not having to install a paddle wheel or calibrate the speed.

Had no problems on the turn arounds last time out. The previous driver was just turning too sharply. On nice regular turns it held speed w/in 1.5

Very nice, Im trying to think of a way to convince my dad that we need PP on our E22.  Problem is its never our ski boat, wakeboard and tube yes but 95% of the time we use our friends MC Prostar instead.  Although I might have to convince them to try behind our Epic now that I have that new prop on it, pulls like a mofo compared to the stock POS prop.  Best $430 Ive spent on the boat.  Going to get a new HU for some tunes with an aux and USB input, tired of having CDs skip while cruising on the lake.

Can you  post a picture of the display?  I am planning on ordering mine soon and I want to see what is the current look.

Thanks.

My boat is up in storage but next time up there I'll take a pic. I think they call it the 3 or 5 row display. It is very nice!

Here are a few pics of my display

Looks great!  I can't wait.  Thanks for posting the pics.  Do they give you options on the display?  I want to make sure I know how to describe this one.
