Some one should buy this. I want to, but "one boat is enough for us".

Nice Senator. "Baby forces sale" Those dang babys are hell on boat ownership aren't they.

I think the vision has a shallower V.

Check out the style line on the side of the hull, a few inches down from the trim. Toward the back it dips for the last few feet. The Vision doesn't do that. Also the curve of the deck is too much to be a Vision. And the Vision is 2ft longer.

It's not a Vision!!!

He's not kidding about the 65 mph. My very best race I had with my '92 Pulse 171 was against a Senator/350 Mag that lived on the same lake I did. He bragged for YEARS that he was the fastest boat on the lake. And with his thru-hull exhaust, he sounded and looked like it too. I taunted him for a long time before he finally lined up against me down the long stretch of our lake. I slowly walked away from that Senator :bigthumb: He couldn't brag about that boat any longer :rof:

Thats why I love outboards:D But nothing beats the sound of firing up a camed big block or better yet twins. People always think thoes are the fastest boats just by the sound.

Baby never forces sale in my house. But would be a great excuse for a bigger boat. Our youngest was 2 weeks old and on the boat and now she loves it. However wife not working is another thing all together. Anyhow, still have mine, just find ways to make it work.

I love stories like that. Had a similar event on Herring Creek DE, right off Rehoboth Bay. I bought an MX16 with a high strung tower of power 150 that was good for mid/high 70's if you could hang in there. I was in my late teens and bragging all up and down the creek that i had the fast boat. An older guy with what i think was an 21' foot mate with I/o power always tried to keep up, but to no avail. He ended up calling his friend with a N/A big block powered Sanger (with numbers on the side) to shut me up... and he did :o. But he wasn't native to the area, so i was still top dawg:lol:
