Hey Jeff,
You're right our Epic 22 doesn't have a wake plate. The wake is great for skiiing, but to be honest, this is the only inboard I've skied behind. It makes all of the I/O's and outboards seem like broken down barges with slow pick up. (Actually, when I was a kid, some neighbors of mine had a Boston Whaler outboard, probably about 16 feet long, which was a blast to ski behind.)
Unfortunately, our Epic is in storage until spring, so I can't get any fresh photos up until then. Now that we have a boat, I'll be looking forward to the ice melting on the lakes. I think it may be April or May before we can get out again. That's why it will be great to get a lot of photos up on this thread to get us all through the long winter.
