I think you'll find some v-drive wake pics on
www.epicmarine.com.
S22 and SX22 are the v-drives. Epic 22 (E22) and X22 are d-drives. Epic 21 (E21) is a closed bow 21 foot d-drive ski boat.
$19k for a v-drive does sound like a great deal.
I agree with Cal. My E22 is very reliable and fuel efficient. The engine delivers great performance. You've seen the fit and finish which is competitive with many new boats from today, almost a decade later.
