Anyone have any experience with this boat? Seems like a cool idea and my wife loves the idea of dual helms (she liked this in the G3 as well). From what I hear, Premier and their PTX package are pretty solid. Anyone confirm?
Also, I can't find a price point for these boats for the life of me. Any thoughts?
Thanks guys/gals.

Yeah, looks like this year's model actually has rear access and not the u-shape seats in the back. I'm thinking the current configuration with putting the "refreshment" center Premier offers behind the helm might be a nice setup. Oh, and PTX of course.
Hmm, so many boats.

I can't speak to the S Series, but we bought an Escapade this spring and so far we love it. We only went with the 30inch PTX, but are pretty happy with the performance of the boat. As everyone says, get as big of motor as you can. We have 200hp and more wouldn't hurt, but at the same time, 200 is meeting our needs nicely.

I concur with the previous post. We have an 2008 25" Escapade with the 36" PTX that we use on a very busy lake. Rides very smooth and handles rough water well. With the 225 Verado, I topped out at 38 mph by GPS today. When the toons are clean and the conditions are right, I have hit 40.

x3 on the Premier, but can't help you on the S-Series. We bought a Premier SunSation LTD with a 220hp 4.3L I/O halfway through last season and we love it. We also have the 36" PTX center tube and within seconds of applying throttle, you can feel it jump up on plane. And it corners great.

Thanks for chiming in Rick. It's funny you mention the Sunsation because the morning after I made this post, we discovered the Sunsation LTD RF and fell in love. My wife really wants the dual captain's chairs (doesn't have to necessarily be dual helm) because she's not big on getting in the "fish water" so she wants somewhere to sit while we're swimming.
Seems like the Premier with the PTX is a nice setup.
Now I need to get out and test drive a few of these rides I've been eyeing.
