Welcome Piston. That's a nice one! Love the color scheme. Is that factory?

VERY sweet boat.  Where do you live and where did u get it?

........and what did you pay?

I live in Marin county CA and the boat resides @ Lake Berryesa..I bought it in Santa Rosa, California from the original owner who was previously an EPIC dealer..it was his personal boat and he custom ordered it..everything is factory including the paint job..i've yet to find anoter boat like it..bought it for $27,500..couldn't pass it up!!

Looks awesome, but think maybe it'd be better if you ripped off about two hundred fifty six pictures of it for us. I'd love to see the ballast control, the shower pump if you have it, the ballast pump(s) down in the bilge area, etc. Forgot to look...in the SX, has the fuel tank been shrunk down from the S22, and why? Bitzy?

Derek - looks like I'll have to get my camera out and take a few pictures.

Andrew - great looking boat!  It looks like the dealer ordered the boat without any decals.  Is that true?  Since I'm becoming a decal expert with my epicmarine.com project I notice things like that now.

Make sure you put the details of your boat in the boat registry!  And a few pictures would be great too!

The fuel tank is the same for the S and the SX

Nice boat piston, love the colors.  I grew in Santa Rosa and now live in Roseville.  We are heading out to disco bay over in the dirty delta sunday.  It is going to be blowing up at Berryessa this weekend, but who cares, you will be in your epic.  Congrats and hope to see you around next year.

Luuucckkyyyyyyy!!!  God. 
Good deal. 
How come www.nadaguide.com  only shows Toyota years 1999,2000,2001 ?  Did they make a 2002?

I saw that boat in shrink wrap at the dealer in Santa Rosa in Sept 2001. It was way out back by the highway, and the dealer wouldn't acknowledge that they had one more Epic. They had a used S22 (red) and a used 2000Epic 22 exactly like mine before I put a tower on it. The shrink wrapped boat out back had the funky little board racks, so I knew it was a 2002 Toyota SX from a distance.

Nice, I like that one a lot. I'll get some pics for ya

I'd happily upgrade my S22 to an Sx if anyone wants to trade or knows of one for sale, but not the WA "NEW" one.

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome....can't really do pics since the boat sits @ my in house in Berryesa...but it sure was a blast to finally get out on the water and really spend some time getting familiar with everything!  @ this point the on board computer is very confusing..with out any in depth directions in the owners manual i pretty much gave up quick!  Also the depth finder and air/water temp readings seemed uncertain...the depth was always 77.5 and the temps were jumpin from 0-230 and everywhere in between...any ideas as to what is not working properly?  Also the shower seems to always be drippin water out of the nozzle (very minute amount), is this normal?  But the heater is AWESOME!!  Oh yeah the boat had the Gravity Games decal package which was removed by the dealership @ some point!  I would have stripped the decals too...looks awesome without anything execept the shiny TOYOTA on the rear.

My shower will drip if both valves are not turned all the way off, even with the electric pump not running. There seems to be a little pressure in the system when the engine is running.

Sweet boat BTW!
