Anyone know the price point for their new line of wakeboarding boats?

The stuff they are coming out with will blow your mind.

Ryan,

When you say new line...are you talking about the 23V or is there more Epic boats than that now? The 23V... I have seen pricing go from $60K -> $50K and back to up $60K.

It would be nice to catch them at a boat show and see what they are really asking.

Nice boat... very utilitarian in design... I like that.

Would be nice to know if their hull design is finalized and how many "trouble free" hours are on it.

Ant Bug,

I like stuff... what kind of stuff are you talking about?

I saw one at the Phoenix Boat Show and all I can say is they better keep the engine hatch closed! It was like spaghetti under there, wires going everywhere with splices w/tape, butt connectors, and even duct tape. I hope the boat I saw wasn't a production model, but was a retrofit unit that they changed from the PCM to Volvo.

Heres a few pics from the Phoenix boat show. They were asking $62,500 for this boat.You could tell they havnt got everything dialed in yet but when they do I think it will be good. There pulling the first AWA tournament over here in phoenix April 1st, they will also be at the On the water boat show over here at lake pleasent giving free pulls on March 24th-26th,letting the boat speak for itself.

Thats not the trailer that will come with the boat, thats actually DVS's trailer.

Steve,
Do you have a picture of the engine bay? Do you know if that was a conversion boat or something?

I just heard a sound... I think... I think... its the sound of someone pricing themselves out of the market!?

You can get a loaded up 2006 Malibu Wakesetter 23LSV for the same money

Upholstery looks like it's coming along nicely!

not a big fan of the camo look. I guess if they throw a live well in, it could have a dual purpose. Maybe a hunting blind in the bow...get ya sum berds!
