Go visit your sister, she'll love you for it, you can test drive the boat, and drive it home your self, great vacation for such an investment you'll make.
Last summer I was walking on one of the beaches here on Lake Michigan and ran into a couple that asked me if the Lake was always that rough (we had some wind) He said it looks rougher than the ocean by us. I asked him where he was from and why he was here (Michigan)
He told me they drove from Seattle to pick up a Boston Whaler as it was less expensive to get a nice fresh water Whaler here in Michigan than in the PNW. This included him flying out once already to check the boat over B-4 he bought it.
Now he was talking about a two year old Outrage 280 (high dollars) but still make the trip.
