As promised here are the totals from the poll<br /><br /> 'How happy are you with your boat?' <br /><br />Presented as percentages of all:<br /> <br />34% has their first boat,<br />27% did a good deal of homework before getting the boat and 51% really digged into it. <br />At the end of the day 80% owns a ‘major, well known brand’.<br />95% thinks that their boat's design is pretty good or better, 57% finds their boat's building quality better or much better than expected and 55% thinks that the electrics are as expected - 37% finds it better or much better.<br /><br />2% thinks the safety should be better, 20% finds it OK and 78% finds it safer than they need (2/3 of those feel safe at all times which indicates that boaters are careful and use their boat well within it's limits). <br />90% would recommend their boat to a friend but 3% would look for a different make (appearantly they'd pass on their first-boat experience while they'd personally go for something more specialized next time).<br /><br /> 39% of spouses disagree or doesn't care while 61% agrees in boating matters. <br /><br />Depending on how you like to extract wisdom from this, you could end up with “both newbies and experienced boaters ends up with a major brand and are happy with the design, positively surprised by the electrics and very happy with the safety onboard – it surpasses their needs. Most are happy enough to recommend their boat to friends although some would look for another brand (upgrade?) for themselves next time. 4 of 10 spouses disagree or doesn’t care in boating matters”.<br /><br />Stuff to think about..... :cool:
