Matching a deep vee Epic 22SC Sport Console 2013 against a modified vee Epic 232SE 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Epic 22SC Sport Console 2013 at 22,5 ft versus Epic 232SE 2011 at 23,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Epic 22SC Sport Console 2013 tips the scales at 185 lbs — 127 lbs more than the Epic 232SE 2011 at 58 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 268 hp, the Epic 232SE 2011 has a 118-hp advantage over the Epic 22SC Sport Console 2013's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Epic 22SC Sport Console 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Epic 232SE 2011 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Epic 22SC Sport Console 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Epic 22SC Sport Console 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 22,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Epic 232SE 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
