Yes it does. What year is your Escapade? I recently bought a 1998 Escapade. I found it to be severely under propped so I retro fit an 3 blade OMC outdrive...
Thank you for the offer. I'm generally happy with the newer style of propeller that Nauticraft is using on their pedal boats. It seems to be a bit more...
I hope that everyone has a truly enjoyable time, getting together with their loved ones, pedaling their boats (if the local conditions permit!) and planning...

A couple of folks i have talked to have wondered if there are alternative propellers or sprockets for the Escapade that would enable them to pedal slower, yet...

Well, it's been a few years, but I've done overnightes (on the Mallard) but would love to do the NW water. Let me know when with plenty of time to plan if...
I've formed another Yahoo! group for folks interested in touring various areas of the Pacific NW with other pedalers, paddlers and rowers, since this is rather...

Hi Dave, I've copied Randy at Nauticraft on this so he might too reply with more input. I scotched the hard windsheild and got a sail/canvas maker to make me a...
Hi Curt, I apologize for the long delay in responding to your most generous offer. I think it would actually be easier to use the plastic adapters you employ...
We're set: 3/25 at Don Armeni boat ramp in West Seattle, with a 9 AM departure. That will give us 2.5 hours to make it over to Blake Island - plenty of time to...

Howdy folx, I too am a bit disappointed with the standard prop on my Escapade, especially the early, right hand model. I retro fit some 3 and 4 blade outdrive...
