Anyone have an Epic 21v or an MB F21 around Chicago Area
 

Looking to grab a pull behind either before winter hits as I may be in the market for a new ride. Even though dealerships are null around here these two boats interest me a ton. I do most if not all of my own maintainable and understand the shortfalls of not having a local dealer. I have put 900hrs on my boat and its been in the shop a grand total of once. For me the huge reason is upkeep and the simple design of older boats. So I am looking for that in a new boat.

We're about a 2 hour drive from the city. I'll have F21's and F22's in stock in about 2 1/2 weeks. C'mon up anytime. We'll be more than happy to give you a ride

I love my F21 lots of room, and no big screen tv that you need to run the darn thing.

If that low speed wake thing is a big issue, the MB will be problematic. I love ours above 22, but after a week of dragging newbs, the low speed wake can be frustrating.

F22?

yup, new model for 2014. Now I was just informed that the delivery on the 22 was delayed a bit, but I'm still getting some other 2014's in around Aug 10

I don't know if there are any MB dealers up North like by Fox Lake? Otherwise, for those of us who go to Michigan there is an MB dealer up that way...

Thanks guys
There a no dealers up that way that carry MB or Epic. I am pretty sure the above mentioned in Michigan is the closest.

For sure the low speed 17-20mph wake is def of a concern to me and one of the reasons for the test drives.

trust me it's terrible. if you get it balanced perfectly, 20 clean is possible. 17, absolutely no way. in a million years no way. pure wash. You can clean up one side or the other by weighting that side, but no way will both sides be reliably clean until 21+.
