I am two holes up - that is, one hole down from as high as it can go. I have no grip problems or blowout - might try 3 holes up at some point.

The $500 off is a promotion Yamaha runs every year - I opted for doubling the warranty, which was available at the time on the 70. You'll need new controls anyway so the $500 off would make sense.

You'll love the F70! Since I'm spending your money, try the Quest - I'd love to hear how that goes for you.

Are you planning to get a tach, or connect to your GPS display, via Yamaha's Command Link interface? I have that setup and it's really nice.
