MOD DRAFTED RULES:
Conditions:
1: Restoration, rebuild, redo, rehab or re-worked project must have been well documented @ iboats forums. With good reference text and pix posts.
2; Nominated member must have been active prior to the nominations starting AND be willing to commit to being active after winning PLUS agree to return and help manage next years 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 5 posts 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 is 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 all 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 an 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 for the 8th annual "Restoration Forum Splash Of The Year 2023 winner".
10. The nomination, win and plaque are the ONLY recognition or award. There is no award or prize of any kind from iboats.

Bayliner Capri 2150 resurrection.

So here is the beginning of my journey. The sucky thing about this is the back of this boat was redone, had been in the water ONCE and then stored improperly. It doesn't seem that bad though. I have read back about 280 pages in the restoration forums on topics that either pertain or interest me...
