I just spent an hour on an Epic Wakeboat and I'm wondering why everyone is so skeptical about new technologies and concepts. The Vector Steering alone is unbelievable, I currently own a 2004 23 LSV Wakesetter and the Epic will run circles around it with 4000lbs of ballast. The construction is impeccable, in my Malibu when I hit another wake or double up the thing slams the wake and you can feel the whole boat vibrate and shake, the Epic was so solid it was unbelievable. I've owned two Malibu's, and a Calabria, driven everything under the sun except a Sanger, and Correct Craft, and this boat I drove puts them all to shame. So why are consumers so slow to accept new technologies, you can't use the old addage of "how are they going to hold up" in this scenario because racing boats have used Vector steering for years and the space shuttles use resin infused construction.
