hutty Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Hi I just bought this boat and wondered if anyone knows the year of this model? It is a Savage 16' boat, and has Escort badging It is not a true half cab, rather the seats are under cover, with an opening to the front deck. It is in pretty good condition as it has only been run on freshwater lakes. There is a bit of rot in the floor, but I am planning on cutting that out and replacing with marine ply/carpet/swivel seats. It came with a 140hp Evinrude from apparently the same year (also with an 8hp Merc) I have looked everywhere and cannot seem to find the same model anywhere! Thanks very much Edited February 7, 2016 by hutty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 4myson Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) If you think the outboard is from the same year you can find out from the engine serial number located on the rear of the engine bracket... ( I would say late 70's early 80's ) Edited February 7, 2016 by 4myson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I would say late 70's early 80's ) Thanks, but that was only what the seller told me and he wasn't sure.. The outboard is 1983 (from the serial number), but the boat styling seems a bit older?? I was hoping someone here might have seen/owned one like it, as I can't find the same model online at all - only half cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbaron Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Standard escort 4.9 shape. But with that hardtop and seems to be reverse seat brackets. I have seen a pic of this exact one before on the Internet. Do an image search for savage escort. Great Boat, I've had 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a look, but can't find any with the undercover back to back seats that shows what year model. I reckon it looks like mid 60's? I love the windows that slide back on the sides like a bus driver! Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
