Speaking of new boats, I was looking through the waterski mag boat buyers guide and saw the Epic 23V. It has 4000 lbs of ballast which is 1000 lbs more than the weight of the boat! With 55 gallons of fuel and the 14 pa$$engers it is rated at carrying, I,m thinking this thing is probably not legal when full.Of course unless it has a 10,000 lb coast guard rating. I'm curious as to whether it will even float when loaded.

I saw the Epic at the boat show as well. Really interesting. The front of the boat is flat. Kind of makes it look like a tank. I think the hard core wakeboarders are going to like it. Not really my taste, and I wouldn't even think of it till it's been on the market for a couple of years. I have read that the coast guard ratings don't mean much on boats over 20 feet. Never looked up the laws myself. BKH

I know on the lake here( Lake Wylie NC)if the police are in a mood to right tickets they will look at your coast guard plate, especially a boat full of young people throwing a tsunami wake. I'm sure the lake property owners would be thrilled to have this boat cruising back and forth in the cove as well. Our boat show(MidAtlantic in Charlotte) is next month. I will definitly be looking for these 2 boats.

83SN2001, don't hold your breath. I'd be surprised if they showed up in your neck of the woods.
