    Douser's 1988 Vision 221

    Douser's 1988 Vision 221

    The K&N Air Filter is a True metal screen Flame arrester made for marine applications. I thought the same as you when I first saw it. As for the breather you are correct but it looks better. Headers are next spring. Thanks guys for the compliments.

    Checkmate Vision information wanted

    I have a checkmate vision 221. The boat has an Alpha SS outdrive with just under 500 hp in front of it. I have to baby her out of the hole but once she planes out she has seen 81 on GPS.
