Both the Aspen Power Catamarans 36 - C110 2011 and the Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013 are catamaran designs, the first built in composite and the second in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Aspen Power Catamarans 36 - C110 2011 measures 36,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013 at 32,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Aspen Power Catamarans 36 - C110 2011 tips the scales at 18 000 lbs - 9 600 lbs more than the Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013 at 8 400 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The Aspen Power Catamarans 36 - C110 2011 carries a rated maximum of 260 hp. Engine data for the Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Aspen Power Catamarans 36 - C110 2011 carries 180 gallons versus 80 gallons in the Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Aspen Power Catamarans 36 - C110 2011 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Aspen Power Catamarans 36 - C110 2011 could be the deciding factor.
