I could not find any info or pics on a Vision open bow either so i figured some of the guys here could give me a little info? Thought maybe it could be kinda rare? Will get pics up as soon is a take em'. The bow is not open all the way to the front like most bowriders, the very front part is closed and has a small place for storage but the open bow part is still pretty roomy. Never seen an open bow boat that is like this one. Any insight on this boat would be great. Also, how much is the boat worth in U.S? It is mint inside and out and needs nothing. The motor is fresh.

Nice boat! Where did you find it? I've been tossing around the idea of getting a larger (mainly deeper) I/O bow ride for a while and have been keeping an eye out on craigslist.
In any case, post some pictures of that rare bird - I'd really like to see it.
Of course welcome to the site - you'll be amazed how helpful and friendly the guys are here.

I/O Vision is rare indeed. The boat should run upper 60's/low 70's with a stock 454 Magnum/Bravo drive. The Vision is a great looking boat. As far as small I/O boats are concerned, the Vision 22, SeaRay Pachanga 22, and Regal Velocity 230 were all choices I considered back in 1988...and wound up buying the Velocity. Good luck with your new Checkmate!
