The weight capacity of the Escape is 500 lbs. I don't think that it will sag or deflect the seat much at even 300 lbs, if everything is inflated properly, but that is just a guess on my part. As FG suggested watch the video with Larry Tullis is the Escape. He is a big boy, and there is no sagging anywhere that I can see.
The Scadden seats are unique in that you can't over inflate them. They have incorporated a pressure release valve into their design. You can pump them up absolutely rock hard and when you get to max pressure it will release back to where it should be. I don't generally pump mine up that hard, as it is more comfortable to me with a little give in it.
I have the Renegade which also has a higher weight capacity (800lbs), but even with quite a soft seat I don't get any sag or deflection anywhere. With me, the trolling motor, and battery it is less than 200 lbs though.
