    I have one, mine has the bench seat with storage under it. I love mine so far had it for 2 years now. Not sure if its the 300 or 350 seats 3 people.

    I have the Pro Fish 350 which is the 2008 version where the Escape is the 2009+ version. I’ve been nothing but satisfied with it. Except the weight when dragging it on foot (heavy) and the bench back doesn’t lean back far enough preventing a person from reclining. Makes you sit up straight all day long. Other than than, rock solid fish house.

    I have the Escape 200 and really like it other than as said the weight. The material was the best that Eskimo ever used, they currently use 300D material and I believe the Escape used 600D. They only made the Escape 200 & 300 for 1 or 2 years I believe and then went with the 250 & 350 and then back to the QuickFlip name and lighter material. The thicker material might of only been on the 200 & 300.

    The only other complaint that I have is the window material cracked really easy in mine. I went to Walmart and bought a 54″ X 36″ piece of their thickest clear vinyl for $4.00

    I never thought of that. I had one window break as if it were glass when we were fishing in -30* once. The nice thing about Eskimo (and Frabill) is the windows are attached by velcro. So I just ordered a new one for $14 and they sent it to me. Easy to replace. I’m surprised to see Clam hasn’t adopted that method yet.

    The Escape are also held by velcro, so I just took it out and had a friend that does upholstry work sew a new piece on, actually had him replace all of them. I took the stuff from walmart and put it in the chest freezer overnight and then bent it all around and it held up.
