Yarrow Bay . . . good choice.
I just had one of their boats out a couple weeks ago.
Fun stuff.
I believe all their ski boats have V8's, so they really move.
Definitely go in to Lake Union.
This is the start of "Montlake Cut" that takes you in to Lake Union.
Once one the lake, keep an eye out for sea-planes landing there.
They'll land right along side, or buzz right over the top of ya.
. . .also, it would seem you would be ok to "open it up" on lake Union, but its not.
(only sea-planes and police boats get to go fast there)
Ask me how I know. . .
