Another 209 Escape Question

[etech61]

I am going to look at a 1997 209 Escape. Has there been much of a change in hull designs between 1997 and the newer models? That is, the SV2 hull.

Are the hulls the same? The pics for the new 209's look very similar to the 1997 I am going to look at and have suveyed.

This looks to be a safe big water fishing boat and has been well taken care of.

Thanks

Bud
