Escape is a fine example of a Nimbus 280 with ideal space to relax with seating at the stern and saloon/dining space in the interior. The helm position on the port side allows for effective visibility when travelling up and down the waterways. Whilst driving, you have the power of a Volvo Penta engine with bow and stern thruster which gives you exceptional confidence on the river and especially when mooring. The remote-control use of the thrusters adds extra aid when going in and out of locks and handling lines when alone which will not limit you when desiring to go out on the water. The extensive work put into Escape creates a well looked after and maintained vessel that is perfect to own and enjoy. Please call us on 0118 947 7770 to arrange a viewing.
