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 9th annual "Restoration Forum Splash Of The Year 2024 winner".
10. The nomination, win and plaque are the ONLY recognition or award. There is no award or prize of any kind from iboats.

1984 Baretta rebuild (Splashed Aug 2024)
hello all. after reading all the other resto/rebuilds, i finally have to post mine....well, what i have so far. for starters, after patching what i thought was a hole, and with a little prodding, i decided there's no way "it'll be ok for another season...". i mike said my boat was telling me...

1984 4Winns 195 Horizon
My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.
So the long and short is this will hopefully be a simple floor replacement project... but we all know how that goes. I know of some damage areas under the floor I discovered in the back but don't know the extent of it and won't until the floor comes up. The good? The floor is only really soft...
