Tower "hat"

[cyclone]

I snagged a tower "hat" today, it is a cloth cover for the top of the factory tower. Don't know what else to call it. It is brand new and happens to be bright blue which would look like sheot on my boat. I'd like to trade it for a grey one if anybody has one, or I'll call the company on the tag and try to order one.

Man!  That matches my boat!
I'm not sure I could use it.   And, I don't have a
grey one to trade.
(wait...I'm getting to a reason for posting here : ))

But I do have an extra grey swim platform cover
AND a silver and white jump seat.  I'd be willing to
trade either for anything cool for my boat

I don't need the hat, but I don't think it would fit your tower. It barely fits mine! The jump seat I scored is beige and tan, I was going to get it reupholstered to match my interior, which is grey/dark grey. Do you have an extra or do you just not want the one that you have?

[SandmanS22]

I don't want the one i have. It doesn't match either.
Its silver and white. I have the same colors as you.
Plus I'm pretty sure its for a d drive.  I can't see how it
fits in my boat.
Its one legged.  I really don't have a lip for the non-leg side
to rest on.  I don't think its for my boat.

What is a tower hat?

[cyclone]

Look at the pics on the literature page, it is a cloth snap on cover for the top of the tower that says Epic.

Sandy, the jump seat needs two brackets that attach to the side of the cooler just in front of the door for the storage compartment.  It is like an extension of the passenger side seat. The leg has a thumbscrew that secures it to one of those round metal plates with the 1/4" hole that you mount on the floor panel. I am going to order a set of hardware for my boat, should I order two sets? I need all the seating I can get with that big old motor box in the way. I wish I'd bought that 2002 SX that my dealer had last year.

[SandmanS22]

Maybe I should get it just to have it.
There will be a time, not so long from now
when we won't be able to get any of this crap.
Lemme know how much and I'll mail you a check.

Just noticed that picture of the sunken V-drive.
do you know the story behing that!??
Holy crap! I never want to see it again!

[cyclone]

I'll order the parts today, don't the price yet.
That picture was on Wakeworld a while back, somebody posted that it was at a lake in Texas, there was a concrete block under the water. Apparently, someone wanted to put some kind of a marker on it but the Corps wouldn't allow him to do it for some reason. A short time later, someone hit it. There was a big debate about what kind of boat it was,
I knew immediately and it made me sick to my stomach! I put it up there because I am going to collect all pictures I can find of Epic boats.

Sandy-

I just bought a 1999 Epic 22 Direct Drive, and am looking for a jump seat and bow filler cushion for it.  It sounds like you have what I am looking for...  I have the grey and off-white interior.  I  think it is the same colors as Pete K's..  Don't know if it is a match or not, but if Pete K. doesn't want the jump seat and you are interested in selling/trading let me know.  

If you are interested, let me know.

I got one from the dealer that is two tone beige, so I'm good. If we were smart, we'd all wait until enough people sign up that happen to have the right colors, and we could all trade straight up! I'll probably get impatient and have mine recovered!
I got a document today from the dealer that will allow you to decode your HIN and find out when your boat was made and what number it was for it's model year. I'll post it on the literature page tonight or tomorrow.

[SandmanS22]

Hey re-pete,
I think yours is the same color as mine also
This jump seat is definitely silver/white
Not lightgray/darkgray

Cyclone,
even holding the seat up where I think its suppose
to go, its doesn't look right.
Anybody have a picture of what it should look like?

[re-pete]

Sandy-

Not sure if we can post pictures here, but maybe you can post a picture of your extension seat, and we can see if there is a match.  I sent pictures of my boat to Cyclone to post to the site.  I think you are right, though.  Sounds like our interiors are probably the same colors.

Do you think the reason the seat doesn't appear to fit with your boat is a different shaped front seat for the Epic S22 vs. Epic 22?

There is a very small picture in the upper part of this brochure scan from the Literature page that shows the installed Observer Seat Extension. The X22 has a three color interior, the pattern may be different on ones for different models, but I'll bet the seat is exactly the same. Ditto for the bow filler, which is also shown in one of the pictures on the literature page.

[cyclone]

What're you looking for, the observer seat or the tower hat?
