Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on a Larson Escape Pontoon?

Very sporty looking on the outside. I haven't seen the new ones but in the past the interior was more like a wake boat than a pontoon. That is not as comfortable or plush. There tubes are all together different, very blocky. You may want to go on some boat test sights to really understand the difference. Most of those sights are cheerleaders so you won't get much criticism, but maybe a better understanding of what they are. quick edit. I just looked at the new models, looks like much improved interior. Larson obviously knows how to make a boat. I'd like to see them upclose.

Watched a couple videos on these today. Not a fan of the fiberglass, as one of the things I love about my pontoon is the no-maintenance aspect, nor did the layouts look great (looked tight), but pontoon design and performance seems pretty interesting. Wonder why they're not more popular in our area?
