I have since cleaned the ugly water line off it, and gave her a good buff and wax, looks 5 times better :)

The v-king is 2 feet longer, a bit wider (I think) and a touch heavier. And much more stable at speed lol.... I'm not that experienced with Hydrostreams, this is only the 2nd one I've driven, but I'm lovin it!

The Vision is 16 feet, The Vector is 17 feet and the VKing is 18 feet. The Vision is also a canadian edition and were never made here in the states by Howard. :up:

Its more of a shortened Vking hull from what I understand.

That is one sweet looking boat and congrats on the purchase. :)

Thanks for the kudos. I did some looking around before I bought it and couldn't find a whole lot of info on the Vision, although it seems there's plenty of them here for sale. I grew up skiing behind (and occasionally driving) a v-king with a bridgeport merc and absolutely loved it. Very proud owner of this one :)
