Wow, 700 miles! You really want it this boat. Congrats, don't forget to post pictures of you assesories and the first fish you catch in the FSH.

Grand Lake of the Cherokees in Oklahoma had the closest FSH to me.
Nice dealer with a ramp right out the back door into the lake. Huge lake. They were having a Bassmasters event going on so there was a fair amount of boat traffic. Got to try everything from glass smooth to moderate chop to some really steep giant wakes from some 50+' yachts. All in all I was fairly impressed with the ride. I think I read it somewhere else on this site but can also confirm that any kind of following wave really likes to jack the stearn around. A little throttle goose and your right back on track though.

Unless you're making some decent headway, this is not a sit back and relax boat...you've got to drive it.

Thats funny a Bassmaster event, it was actually the biggest event of the year the 2016 Bassmaster Classic going on. You should have checked out the big expo they have tons and tons of fishing related booths.

If only I had more time. The Bassmaster check in signs were nearer the other end of the lake than the Yamaha dealer. We saw a fair amount of bass boats but they say the lake has 1300 miles of shoreline, so plenty of little coves where they can all disappear.
