[#0000FF]Sorry for the delayed reply. Have been out of town and computer challenged.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I have the older model Escape. It is tricked out with electric motor, sonar and all the PVC trinkets I could think of. I think some of my add-ons might have been the inspiration for Dave to make the enhancements on newer models...like the improved seat and the motor mount.

[#0000FF]The old inflatable seat was a nightmare for me. I am a big guy and the seat was not long enough. That, and a poorly designed pressure release valve had me sliding out of the seat. I had to add on a boat pontoon float to even use it. And I had to make my own motor mount.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I removed the oars. They work, but are almost useless if you have long legs and try to use the foot bar. Your knees are up to your chin and no room to work the oars.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I do like the new hard seat setup.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]If you need something bigger, look at the Renegade. A bit larger than the Escape but with so much more space and floatation. I had one and the only negative I had was that I use mostly fin power while fishing. And the Renegade takes more energy to move around all day...and is more subject to being breeze-blown.
