    My first Grady was the 209 Escape. Great first boat. It had a 175 Yamaha on it and for me it was enough. I had the boat for about 8 years before upgrading to a 263 with twin 200s. I couldn't belive what a difference the added 6 feet made. It felt like twice the boat. I'm now in the process of...

    1997 ESCAPE REPOWER QUESTIONS

    Boat was rated for 230hp max, but that was 2 stroke. Not sure why he's selling it, but I believe the economy would have something to do with it. The weight difference seems to be around 130 pounds between the 175SW2 and the 225FS
