Saw one roll by on I-5 by Hooters. Nice. It was a red one. Cliff is this the same one in Sammamish?? I'd really like to see one up close. Any one know if they're gonna change over to mercruiser for motors? Joe?

Not the one on Samm, it's white.

I think they went to Merc last year.

I'd love to see a red one in person. Heck, I'd love to get a pull behind one.

I heard Extremely Board (near Joe's) in Issaquah has at least one if not two they are using for lessons. That is just what I heard through a mutual friend.

Extremely Board??? Never heard of em. Maybe I'll jump on the bike and take a look. I think I have my boat choices narrowed down and I'd hate to discount the Epic's before I've had a chance to look at or demo one.

The boat on Folsom is probably Tim Parsons, the rep for the west coast. I drove it and really liked it. The wke is great without ballast and there is no rudder stall when its loaded and the wake is huge.

Tommy how is the driveability with the twin rudders? Is it much different than single rudder operation?

Epic was at Folsom, for the Water Festival.It is Tims boat, but for sale if anyone is intrested. The boat was ready for demo rides during the event. I didn't get to go,but heard it was crazy!
