Please note new hotboat of the month rules: www.hotboat.com (http://www.hotboat.com) reserves the right to cancel this contest at any time without notice. You may only vote for your boat one (1) time. If you are caught voting multiple times (using multiple accounts or otherwise) you will be disqualified and will no longer be eligible to enter your boat for this contest. In order to vote, you must have a minimum of twenty-five (25) posts anywhere on this site. We are doing this to discourage anyone from voting for their boat more than 1X. A maximum of ten (10) boats may be entered, with a minimum of three (3) boats. You may only win one (1) time per year. And in order to receive your prize (a very nicely www.hotboat.com (http://www.hotboat.com) embroidered AO Cooler) you must be the current owner of the boat. We are also now requiring you to submit some information along with your photos: 1. Year, make and model of your boat. 2. Engine/drive specifications. 3. History of the boat (if you know it). 4. Some brief details on the build or re-build if possible. Good luck to each of you!!

You already have 19 posts and voting for next month doesn't open for another 4 days. What's the issue?

Not much to tell, 1980 Dimarco cruiser, V-drive, blown 540, T400. Was at Bransons last weekend and it never saw the water because the 20 minute down poor killed the MSD box.
Do you own the #525 vector?

No, We used to go to Parker quite a bit and was always kicking around the idea of picking up a place there. Last weekend was our first time back in 5 years and we just rented on of those little brick rooms they have there. We were standing on the dock early Saturday morning getting ready to ski when a vector #525 came by pulling doubles looked like a boat I thought you posted someway else in here.

Yes its mine I was pulling 2 skiers Saturday morning . Were did you go the last 5 years ? Its hard to beat Parker there are some good deals right now . When we were kids my parents had friends at Bransons and we would go hang out when they were there . My MSD box is hooked up using Delphi connections when it does have a issue it will be a bitch to replace .

Yeah, you laid into it a little when you were passing the wake board boat, and all three us said how good it sounded.
Why did we stop going? A little of everything I guess, growing my business, babies, doing the hotrod thing, hunting. I have too many hobbies I guess. But even though I never used my boat last weekend we had a good time and the wife and I both agreed that we need to get back into it.

We certainly don't want to discourage people from voting, but on the other hand we want to make sure the contest is a fair as possible. In the past many of the voters met the 2 post min requirement then completely disappeared from the site. In our opinion, 25 posts ensures the voter is more than likely a real person and will hopefully stick around the site for awhile. You're only 22 or so post away. Some of us, yours truly included, make upwards of 50 posts in a single day. I would consider that excessive lol.

Dear Hot Boat, I was wondering why the September hot boat of the month poll is ending on 9/18/2013 in stead of ending at the end of the month like the polls of the past, My thought is if with the new rules of 25 posts it's a lot harder to get the votes, so why are you shortening the duration of the contest??? - need 12 days to count fewer votes?

Hi UR, sorry for the delay. HB of the month entries are for the entire month, voting polls are open for 15 days. We found keeping the polls open longer didn't make a difference. Once the winner is announced then the prize is ordered, the winner's boat is featured on the home page for 30 days until the next boat for the next month is announced and so on and so forth. That is how we have been doing it for a while. The reason for the 25 posts is because in the past there were some discrepancies in the results. Also we want the voters to come on the boards and like what they see and stay for the long run, post, etc. I hope this answer your questions and concerns. Wendi

I saw that you guys are doing different 'categories' of boats now.... is it just going to be 25' and Over & 25' and Under...? I would think if you are going to take the winners and turn this into some type of HOTBOAT Calendar at the end each year (WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!) then you could have categories for 12 months worth;

1. 16'-18' FULL RACE BOATS
2. 16'-18' CUSTOMS
3. 19'-21' FULL RACE BOATS
4. 19'-21' CUSTOMS
5. 22'-30' FULL RACE BOATS
6. 25'-30' CUSTOMS/CRUISERS
7. 31'- 55' FULLRACE/OFFSHORE
8. 31'- 55' CUSTOMS/CRUISER
9. ANY SIZE ALL WOODIE CRUISER BOAT
10. ANY SIZE WOOD DECKER BOAT
11. BEST OF ONLINE PHOTO CHOICE
12. BEST OF HOTBOAT RACE VENUE SHOTS
