Thanks.
Yes its back after a little hiatus. The rules are essentially the same with some changes.
1. You must be a member of the site to enter the contest.
2. You must have at least 25 meaningful posts to vote. Racking up post count with small talk will DQ your vote. Creating multiple screen names will also DQ you.
3. There is no size limit. We will accept all boats.
4. You can only win HBOTM once. You can enter your boat every month until you win.
5. You must post the pics and info of your boat personally. And you must be the current owner of the boat.
6. Hotboat.com reserves the right to disqualify an entrant at its sole discretion.
The giveaway prize will be the same as previously awarded. A hotboat.com embroidered AO cooler. The winner may choose from stock AO colors. The winner will also receive a hotboat.com hat and hotboat.com giveaway T-shirt. Pics of these items will be posted shortly. Standard shipping to US States is included.
If you have any questions about the contest or contest rules, please send a PM to me or Gothalos.
Good luck and lets see those boats!!

Here is my entry. It's a 2001 and a total sleeper. It has a heavy carbon fiber lay up for Catalina runs. All rigging took place at Bucks Aqua Garage in Murrieta, Ca. The motor was put together by "Little Puppet" in La Habra and it's pushing a cool 725 hp on pump gas. I can post more build pics later if I win. This baby will be slaying Parker this summer!

Moved your post to the submission thread for March.
Thanks for the entry.

She's Mine for Hot Boat of the Month.
This is my 2003 27' Eliminator Daytona. She has a 572 quad rotor BBC, with 1050HP and 1025 ft pounds of torque. Pushing this hp is an IMCO SCX drive. I have upgraded the interior with fiberglass high back seats and a custom snap in carpet that covers the entire cockpit. She has 3000 watts of Alpine power playing thru 2 12" subs and 12 Focal separates and a 5 person inner-com system by Rugged Radio.
Hope you like what I've done with her to make her mine. Thank you for your vote!

Attachment 35876
79' Miller Bubbledeck Ski-Jet
Owned for 7 years by Deb and I.
Purchased with a rebuilder crate motor, would not do 45 MPH. On maiden voyage, we got passed by a Skeeter Bass boat...not good.
Deb told me: "Do whatever you have to do, but do NOT let another bass boat pass us ever!"
I took that shit to heart!
So, pulled the engine THAT afternoon and got started. It has taken a while, and been a process, but boat now does 80+ MPH.
454 .030 over
Forged Eagle internally balanced Crank, Eagle H-Beam rods with cap screws, SRP forged pistons, 9.8:1 CR.
Brodix 280CC runner rectangle port BB1 aluminum heads, Comp Extreme Marine 305 Hyd. roller, Morel lifters, Crane gold rockers, Comp. springs, retainers and superlocks, Brodix girdles.
fully massaged Wieand tunnel ram, 2 Holley based 750 4150's with Allstate billet plates, Holley perf. polished bodies, side hung 4160 bowls with dual feed lines and modified 2 corner idle.
Canton pan and PU, as well as pan screen and moroso Acceleration baffle.
MSD R2R Pro Billet, yada yada yada.
This is the final config, first attempt at the engine blew up at Red Bluff in the Sac river while watching the races.
The Boat:
Was very rough as far as the pump and bilge area. All cooling hoses were rotted and ready to sink the boat. Had the intake reset by the wrong guy, and nearly DID sink the boat.
While that was being done I had the JC bowl modified for a JG style 2 piece bowl, droop snoot, Hyd. Place with a trim gauge, and detailed AB impeller.
Got it all back together and took it out to Shasta.
That outing led to a violent spin out when the intake came loose, and tore my seat out and deposited me upside down against the starboard Gunwale, with Deb pinned in between.
Pulled the engine and took the boat to Tom and Josh at JBP.
They reset the intake correctly, added a shoe and rideplate, and reinforced the keel at the cut outs.
Drug it back home and got it all back together. Took it out and hit 86 MPH straight off the trailer!
Then promptly destroyed the aluminum impeller. Pulled it down and took it back to JBP for one of Josh's custom CNC rail kits, "a work of art" is what Josh's rail kits should be titled.
Truly top notch!
Add in a Stainless A Impeller.
After getting it back together the boat was where I wanted it...except for the completely unsafe sating.
So...
Another call to JBP got me a custom glass bench seat shell, and I got 2 buckets from CP.
Covered locally in Redding by Richards upholstery in old school style and it is good to go!
Boat runs all day on 20 gallons of 91 octane, and I have a scribe to back the timing off to 32* from 36* in case I have to put lake gas in it.
Does 80 MPH loaded, and idles through no wake zones like a champ.

Can not thank Tom and Josh enough for the work they have done on this boat. It would not be anywhere close to what it is without their help and dedication!
At the risk of cross advertising, there are detailed write ups on PB under "intake epoxy" and "rail kits" by Tom.
Looks like we only have 5 entries this month. I will have admin close this and open a voting thread tomorrow.
If you want to enter your boat, please enter it asap.
Thank you,
HB

Here we have a glorious 1990 Hallett 240.
I'll list a few features that might not immediately jump out at you...
-Era Specific gel with timeless cracks and plenty of dock rash to be seen at any angle
-Original Interior....pure sex IMO
-Frankenstein trailer complete with murdered fenders
-Merc 454/B1 with through "straight out of badass" hull exhaust
If that wasn't enough I have no clue what the hours are but based on previous owners experiences I'd say around 500....gonna go till she blows.

The pic of the miller in the voting area sure doesn't look like a miller, or a jet.
