Splash of the Year Time!!!!

[starcrafter65]

Starmada - Last year North Beach got the inaugaural SOTY award for the Liquid Limo. Time to start thinking about the nominees for this year. For the new guys here is a pic.

Handsome and Priceless!!

Can you guys throw out some names so we can put together a poll?

Thanks

I know it was last year but without a doubt...

Bret built an absolutely amazing little boat

Just my opinion, hands down the nicest Starcraft project here on the site.

Hmmmm..I hate to say it...But that EZ character would qualify with his SS yes?

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

I think sprintst got his in the water this year..... - I always liked last dollars orginality - who had that greyed out mariner?....I think Azlo is looking at 2012....

Searay's- no matter how good - are prolly a DSQ.....I always thought the plaque be given to to the Starmadian who not only has an outstanding resto - but also some qualitative elements also - participation on the board, good jokes, degree of difficuty, most for the least......

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

But that's not a Starcraft

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

Yah, Jay did an awesome job but he'll need an alum Starcraft to enter this race.

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

What is this Sea Ray talk? REALLY???!!!!
The Starmada is exclusively Starcraft boats.

TGP's 66 Nassau, black beauty for sure. Go to post #99

CBGale2's 14' Falcon

Kenny~hopeshefloats 1961 Holiday
Great boat, great guy. I hope he's doing ok.

Put your boat in there too Clark, it's a head turner.

It's pretty impressive the amount and the quality of the Starcraft restorations.

Shows you what kind of fishing boat you can build with a Starcraft.
Great pictures and lot's of precious metal.

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

Perhaps there should be an official scoring sheet.

Boat shape when purchased = 10 points for a complete basket case, and 4 points for simple tune up & go water ready deal?
Original Paint = 10 points for a complete strip/paint job, and 4 points for a "Hose it off, just dirty" paint job.



Just tossing it out there, and seeing what sticks to the wall..

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

My vote goes to Kenny/HopeSheFloats...'61 Holiday fully restored, outboard tuned and ready for the water.

Not sure when he splashed it, but he sold it shortly afterwards. He still stops by and I'm sure he'll get another rig someday

I know Azlo is gonna win whichever year his gets wet

I'm with Kev on this. How much did you give back to the nation. Howza's 14' Kingfisher is as impressive as any, but he's here and gone in a flash. The craftsmanship on that boat is A+. There has to be more than just a pretty face to woo me though. Guts and determination are what impress me as much as quality work.

My .02 cents on this. Cool award I like the concept, can't wait to see who wins.

My sentimental favorite is Hopeshefloats. It's tough though, so so many great boats.

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

How about Paparoof's Islander getting a shot at the prize. Determination pays off.

I know I did not restore one, yea I'm lucky or lazy. My time will come. But I still should get at least a 1/2 share of nominating power.

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

Ooohh if there was an award for determination paproof would be hard to beat. When I do my deck, I'll follow pr's recipe.

Re: Splash of the Year Time!!!!

i'd second that one. Pap's been a constant inspiration to me and he wins points for year in-year out determination to get that big old crock going. not sure how to weight it in Kev's scale, but i think a resto of a Chieftain/Islander or similar big un should count for more than a 12 or 14' (Zach, if you're reading this, the "age adjustment" cancels this out so you'll be in the running for next year...)

BTW, i assume the relevant "year" is from award to award, not calendar years?
