Ok just a reminder ... The poll will start on 1/5/17 and end on 1/15/17 At 12:00 midnight ....

Please note:
Here are some of the rules and guide lines of the award process:

1: Restoration, rebuild, redo, rehab, re-worked or home built project must have been well documented @ iboats forums. With good reference text and pix posts.
All hull types and materials are eligible: Fiberglass, aluminum, wood, plastic, steel, composite and etc. As are all tyles of power: gas, diesel, wind, solar, electric and etc. OBs, I/Os or straight inboard.
2; Nominated member must have been active prior to the nominations starting (end of Nov) AND be willing to commit to being active after winning PLUS agree to return and help manage next year?s SOTY process including paying for the next year's winner plates and plaque shipping.

3: It will NOT be an iboats sponsored award.

4: Members MUST have 5posts to vote in the SOTY poll. The Mod/admin team can and will look into voting irregularities, and has had to in the past.

5: This is not a popularity contest. It is stipulated that if you had a good buddy help on a resto, encourage him to join (the Iboats community) and vote. But not every random person (who you likely don't even know) who reads your posts on Facebook should be joining solely to vote. It will further be stipulated that ballot box stuffing, as deemed by the Mod team and iboats admins, will be dealt with. This includes removal of a nominated boat from consideration plus possible banning of the nominated member for unsportsmanlike conduct not in the spirit of the award.

6: This a nomination, voting and award by members: fellow peers here at iboats, that have followed a resto, probably assisted at some point along the way and want to recognize your hard work and dedication to completing your resto. Again, not a popularity contest open to voting for everyone that works where you do, the dominoes, square dancing or hockey group you're a member of or open to your Facebook, Twitter or other social media "friends ".

7: No 'self' nominated boats, boats must be nominated by another member.

8: Again, as noted above, this is NOT an iboats sponsored award or poll, and there should be no expectations otherwise.

9: SOTY winners may be contacted by iboats admin or corporate staff to possibly be featured in a newsletter at some future date. This is not a endorsement (paid or otherwise) of the boat or owner by iboats.* It should be a badge of pride to have been nominated, and is a great honor to be voted the (6th annual) " Starmada Splash of the Year 2016 winner " Or the first ever " Restoration Forum Splash Of The Year winner ".

10. The nomination, win and plaque are the ONLY recognition or award. There is no award or prize of any kind from iboats.

We hope everyone will join in and make this a great event to end each year with !!!​

All fabulous builds! This was a tough choice. Everyone did a fantastic job and should be proud of the work they did.

The fact that all of these craft are completed and all in such good fashion is a testament to the hard work and perseverance of the builders/rebuilders.:hail:
