Both the Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013 and the Aspen Power Catamarans C90 Cruiser 2010 are catamaran designs, the first built in fibreglass and the second in composite, 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.

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 C90 Cruiser 2010 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 80 gal and 80 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Aspen Power Catamarans C100 Escape 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Aspen Power Catamarans C90 Cruiser 2010 caps at 8.
