It's time for March 2010's Boat of the Month contest nominations! :)

For those who don't know, here's how this little feature works.

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.

Please note, that due to a tie in last month's vote, we will only be adding one additional pic to our existing four holdovers.

*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!

-Please only nominate pictures that you know are non-copyright protected. If you're in doubt, please check with the picture owner.

Once we hit the middle of the month, or when we get ten entries, we'll hold an elimination poll to find the top nominated two 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.

Good luck everyone!

Let's see those pics!

BP

The Bp's efi were 240 at the prop and a 7000 rev limit. The carb version was 225. I had the rev limiter module off the engine before I took it out of the crate!

Although a great motor and my favorite alltime cowling, they did stick rings. (bridge got hot)
 
Its actually an older Formula 2.4. It is an EFI with oval ports. Its got the downward facing intake on it. I have read it puts out anywhere from 220 to 240 hp. It'll turn 7k all day long. I run a 21P prop on it and it will snap you back in the seat like my Predictor did and still run 65.:D

It was me,:devil: and I just questioned whether the OB's helped or hurt the lines of a boat. I'm not totally sold one way or another but i'm probably a IO guy when it comes to style and lines of a boat. I know you were having fun when you wrote the above quoted text, but thanks for not calling me out.

Sorry to the rest of you for the :offtopic: stuff.
 
The poll is up.

As a reminder, only one boat is moving on this month to the official poll.

No Way K :cheers:

We are all on the same side here. I was just have some fun like brothers having a competiton who could hit a ball further.;)
My only real arguement on this board would be with guys about those carpet - baggers that are now running the show at the factory. They have tried to invade all the new models -(except the pulsare):D with the boating cancer.:shakehead: I love vintage mates, IO or outboards!!:thumb:
