I looked at this boat too. I went to the show to see the 20 ft bay boat from sea hunt. There were some things I liked better on the epic. They seemed to pay more attention to the details with latches, storage, etc... I'd love to hear from an owner. I like the Carolina flare on the epic like the sea hunt has. I like that the sea hunt has a porta potty, but that is more for guests than me. The batteries the back is a concern. I wonder about power loss.

Anyone with experience with this boat?

I would want to test it on the water for sure.

How does this boat compare to the 21 LTS from Mako?

i have also been looking at the Epic boats. I had a test ride set up on the same day as I tested Skeeter 22, but the Epic was a no show. I will set up a test run with Rockwall Marine as soon as possible.

A few observations has I have looked at allot of CC boats lately:
The Skeeter was great, rough day at EM with 2 footers, very stable, allot of storage, pedestal seat in the back, with plenty of deck.
The Epic, so far has been the only boat I have looked at, that has all the components I am looking for like the Skeeter.
I know that there is different molding procedures for the Epic, but one concern I have is the flex when you push on the hull.

A primary concern of mine is stability will fishing. I have a 300LB+ fishing partner. When I test drove the Express 22 I could barley stay on the front deck when he walked around on the back. No issues with the Skeeter, will see about the Epic. Major difference in price.

Tommy, Do you have any comments about it? I noticed the hull is 400 lbs lighter than the sea hunt 22. I heard about resin infusion and while I was drooling, it sounded great, but I honestly don't know what that means other than lighter. I saw one you guys had with a 225 pro XS that must fly. I did feel like the details were nice. How is the balance with the batteries in the back?

my thoughts are if it bends it's not made with enough glass or not reinforced.sea hunt as the no 1 saltwater boat mine does not give at any time and rides very solid.I know epic builds ski boats but fishing boats must be new.just thinking never been in one.
