Look at the on line catalog and it will give you the details about the different standard equipment on the FTD as compared to the Vision. The decks are the same for 2017. Different HP ratings. Off the top of my head, some of the differences are pump in/pump out live well, built in Golden Rule, Different dash controls….a lot of little things that make life easier. I just bought the 2017 FTD Advantage Elite model. I looked at doing the Vision, but by the time I added options, it was better just to get the FTD AE. Plus I wanted to put the 175 Yamaha SHO on it and the Vision is not rated for a 175. It will run fine with the 150 though. The Yamaha 175 SHO is MADE for the Sabre Hull. It performs great, with speeds in the 70mph range, give or take.IMO, no other 18 boat compares. Its a hot rod and drives great in all areas of performance. Fishes bigger than its size, and the BassCat quality is as good as any of their Premium models.2017 Sabre FTD AE DC2017 Yamaha 175 SHOMK Fortrex 80Helix 10 Mega SI in consoleHelix 7 GPS SI GN2 on bow
