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

May, mmmm, that's sounds good, doesn't it? :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!

I put an outboard on it, can't ya tell Hob? you don't have to vote for it and I could care less really, I recropped it so the white boat in the previous pic is cut out. I am sure you won't lose any votes over it, no worries!

Hey man, hate to point out the fact that half of the winners BOTM winners this year were I/O's (2 out of 4).

And the last two that won were I/O's. :eek: ;)

dog,

It seems like the majority of the boats that win this deal, are just shots of still boats sitting in the water. I like the action shots myself and they do win from time to time. But usually a well taken still shot seems to be the preference.

If you don't make it with your cropped version, maybe you should take a really good still shot and give it ago.
 
Yes, I see the trend. I just love that shot, my fav. If not for that photo
I wouldn't submit a nom. Guess you had to be there to "get it".
One helluva ride bro!:banana: Erie was angry that day!
 
LOL,I have wondered that in the past,,is it the boat or the seenary that wins,,Most of my shots are from mercky Jersey water..But that shot of my boat taken in canada has gotten the best response of all my pics,crystal clear water being able to see the rocks in the water..
