I am in a statistics class this semester and we have been assigned a project that I decided to use iboats members as the focus of my project. So, with your permission, I need to ask you two questions. I would be GRATEFUL if you could reply with your answers. I would love to get this survey up to about 60 individual responses, but if it even gets close I'll be exstatic. MANY THANKS TO ALL MY IBOATS FRIENDS!! Please help me get an A... :D <br /><br />1. Do you own a boat with an outboard motor?<br />2. On an average day of boating are you usually FISHING or do you Ski/tube/hang out in the sun, something other than fishing?<br /><br />THANKS!!!!<br /><br />Sean<br /><br />EDIT: For inquiring minds, I'm trying to see if the proportion of people who like to fish who own outboard motors is larger than the proportion of people who do not like to fish who own outboard motors. So, statistically - this is a good place to look since almost everyone here will own a boat.

I think, for statistical purposes you are going to get a bit skewed results inquiring of a boating website how many own boats...<br /><br />but that said-- Yes, and fish

He asked if it is outboard powered, kinda wierd because the question is "own a boat with an outboard", but the focus group is boat owners in general, right?, so the stat is percentage of boat owners with outboards . . .?

Currently have outboard but no boat. Have had outboard boats most of my adult life.<br /><br />When I go on the water it is to FISH. Nothing else.

Yes to the outbaord.<br /><br />No, I don't fish. Primary use is barefooting, but it also gets used for skiing, tubing, and just plain cruising.<br /><br />If I had to break it down I'd guess<br /><br />70% barefooting<br />15% other water sports (tubing, skiing, kneeboarding, etc.)<br />15% cruising

Sterndrive<br /><br />20% Fishing and towing broken boats to the marina. Boat is a tad too big for tubing/sking. 80% primary use is weekend living aboard.
