Hull Specifications Engine & Electrical
"Escape" was completely rebuilt from hull up by the manufacturer in 2007/8, with the original 1989 hull.  All interior equipment and accommodations were built new at that time.  Cabinetry is maple, tastefully completed with a rubbed oil finish, providing a light and open feeling.  The raised pilothouse is perfect for piloting "Escape" on less-than-perfect days, with comfortable seating for the entire crew and a fully adjustable Todd helm seat.  The large salon is great for socializing and keeping the cook involved while preparing meals.  Full covered walk-around decks allow for safe, dry and easy mooring and there is a large cockpit for social gatherings or solo relaxation.  A transom gate provides generous access to the swim platform for boarding the dinghy or going ashore.  There is also a gate on the starboard side deck.  The flybridge has 4 comfortable mounted helm seats and a large bimini for fair weather cruising and evening relaxation, while the expansive boat deck has plenty of room for a table and deck chairs (and even dancing if you are so inclined).

"Escape" is uniquely equipped to provide extraordinary fuel economy when operating at displacement speeds while providing the maneuvering ease and safety of twin engines and the ability to cruise at 15 knots should the need arise.
