July 2008's Boat of the Month Nominations

[Chris]

It's time for July 2008's Boat of the Month nominations!

July's contest, that sounds good! Summer is just about here, only days away now! :thumb:

Here's how this deal works for our newer members.

Each month we have five pics which battle it out in a poll to find out which boat is the boat of the month. The boat that gets the most votes as chosen by our members wins our boat of the month contest, and the winning boat graces our entrance page for a month.

Once the official poll is completed, the top boat is the boat of the month, and the boat that gets the least amount of votes gets eliminated. That leaves three holdover pics at the end of each month. Those three pics carry over to the next month's contest and get to try to win again.

Here is what to do, if you would like to participate.

If you'd like to enter your own boat, please post your best pic. If you'd like to nominate a fellow members boat, you can do so by posting it in this thread as well.

*Other Rules Worth Noting*

- Please do not post multiple pics of your boat! Just post your best single pic! Posting multiple pics of the same boat just lessens your chances of making it into the official poll as it will most likely just split your vote up! Also, if a member's boat is already nominated, please do not nominate another pic of it! Again, this just causes vote splitting!

- Due to the overwhelming response of nomination pics we're receiving- we are now limiting total nomination pics to a total of 10! Meaning, if and when we reach ten nominations within this thread, at that point we will immediately move to the nomination vote portion of the process!


Once we hit the middle of the month, or when we get entries, we'll hold an elimination poll to find the top two nominated pics which will then advance to our official Boat of the Month poll.

If you need picture posting instructions, please refer to the instruction thread located in the "picture this" forum and also located in the board feedback forum.

Please note, we also have a new option for pic uploading in the form of our "limited access" supporter's subscription which costs just $5 U.S. dollars. So you shouldn't have to struggle posting pics anymore! :)

Details of how to purchase it can be found in the Board Announcements Forum.

Good luck everyone!

Let's see those pics!

WOW!!!!

I second this boat. Ya gotta love a working boat.

[Rob'Z]

70.3 so far but the motor was practically free revving to 7500 with a 14.5" 24p Raker. I need to install the 29p Hackney modified Chopper I just bought and she should easily break 85. That 70 on GPS indicated a 20% slip. I am also going to lower the motor on the jackplate to lower the slip and she should really fly then. The 29p with zero slip should pull 110 at 7500. The motor is supposedly built to handle 8500 (for short periods of time) so on paper I have a 100+mph Starflite here. Honestly though I'd be more than happy with 93 on GPS, would that be the fastest documented Starflite/Liner? ;)
