Lets see those boats and lake preference

Any of you boat owners in the Bassmasters tournament up on Grand Lake?

Not in it but did go see the launch and watched some of it online today.

Anybody had any experience or know somebody that works at Blue Wave boats in Seminole, OK??

I picked up a brochure at a marine dealer in FL panhandle, scratched my head about saltwater boats being made in OK. I’m just curious about any dealings with company or opinions about their boats.

@fishincoop I know a couple guys who used to work there. They hated it. I won’t go into it any deeper because they’ll become real obvious who they are. But they were in critical positions.

When I wasn't racing it, we would take it to the lake and hang out. Boat would run over 150 MPH in a 1000'. True Cheyenne tunnel hull with a 2500 HP blown alcohol injected Donovan. Sorry not the best picture.

Awesome ride! I'm Jealous. Always wanted to experience that much horsepower on the water.
Closest I got was an SS Taylor with a 455 Olds engine in it with a couple of mods. It would hit 92 mph in the 1000' with a racing jet drive. The fuel bill to putt around the lake was tremendous though and it didn't last long because I couldn't keep my foot out of it.
The 375V Ranger with a 200 Merc and chopper prop would get over 70 mph, but that 17.5' boat would get almost all the hull out of the water and be too scary for me at least to go further.
My little 75 hp is just fine now.

My dad had a Taylor SS with a 455 Olds. Many fun times in that boat.

Here's our latest. 2012 Voyager 22' tritoon with a 4 stroke Honda 150. Bought it 2 years ago this July.
38 mph is the best we've seen and that's plenty for us.
So far we've only been on Keystone, but hoping to get to Ft. Gibson and Skiatook.
Kaw is definitely on the list for some blue cat fishing.

I've owned multiple boats (Sea Ray & Baja) but now have the best boat ever - member of the CL Boat Club which means I pay an annual fee and have access to boats anytime. Tritoons, Cobalts and ski boats loaded with whatever the kids want (Skis, tubes, wakeboards, etc) this has made boating much less of a headache.

Favorite lake now is Eufaula but it would have been nice if Carlton Landing would have been built on Grand.

I do rent out my Lakehouse so if anyone is ever looking to stay in Carlton Landing, message me and it'll be cheaper than booking through LakeStay...
