What would you like to create a poll or survey about? We already have a few ideas and would like more for upcoming polls. These polls will run every month and the results posted. The question should be as short as possible. There will be a max of 5 choices. (The above guidelines are so the poll doesn't take up the entire page) Here are a few ideas so far: ----------------------- from Casco Bay Outrage; 1. How many use boat primarily to: Fish Pleasure Commercial 2.How many hours (approximately) do you average per season? 0-30 31-60 61-90 91-120 120+ 3. What is the average # of people you have onboard when underway: Alone 1 2 3 4+ ------------------- from arthureld; 1. What brand of VHF radios are members using ? ? ? ? Other -------------- I think the one we are going to use starting the 1st of November is a take-off from Casco Bay Outrage suggestion: Question: Primary use of your Whaler? Answers: Fishing Cruising Commercial Water Sports Can anyone think of anymore answers to the above question?

Member Personal Page Posts: 135 Comments: 0 Joined: 04/21/07	Joe, Sorry I should have read the request to keep it short! How about "would (do) you take your boat offshore (maybe how far)" or "are you accustomed to pushing the envelope" or "do you take your Whaler into situations involving weather that you might not take another boat?" Possibly "have you been caught out in weather that you might not if you had thought about it?" Jack Edited by CapnJs on 10/17/07 - 4:49 AM

What hull would you own that best represents a "Classic" or "Quintessential" whaler? Or maybe the question should be "If Whaler could bring back one classic model which would you want to see or purchase?" What brand of tires do you use on your trailer? What is your preferred brand of tow vehicle? Do you use OEM oil or another brand for your outboard? Who is your favorite WC member? What area do you do most of your Whalering in? Northeast, Mid Atlantic, Gulf Coast, West coast, Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes, Middle America, or Outside the US? Edited by Jeff on 10/15/07 - 7:24 PM 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

Site Owner Personal Page Personal Album Photo Albums Project Albums Posts: 11447 Comments: 452 Joined: 03/18/05	Derwd, Good one.... He gotcha Jeff........ ---------- Lots of good ideas from everyone. I'm not sure what should be defined by Recreation? Water Sports + Cruising + Relaxation I think relaxation is part of cruising and water sports like water skiing, etc. is different. Transportation should be part of commercial. Right? November 1st Poll. Question: Primary use of your Whaler? A. Fishing B. Cruising (includes relaxation) C. Commercial (includes transportation, crabbing, etc.) D. Water Sports (skiing, tubing, wake boarding, etc.) E. Other (includes lawn ornament, mail box post, flower bed, etc.) Things is parenthesis will NOT be shown due to length.... Edited by Joe Kriz on 10/16/07 - 12:21 PM

Administrator Personal Page Personal Album Project Albums Posts: 7043 Comments: 6 Joined: 03/26/05	Joe - I added "transportation" since I spend 1/2 my season hours transporting family members and all kinds of freight (groceries, lawnmower, constructions materials, luggage, etc. ect.) to an island and back. You would not believe the looks and comments I get at the ramp. I think I am unique (in a good way) CBO 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

Site Owner Personal Page Personal Album Photo Albums Project Albums Posts: 11447 Comments: 452 Joined: 03/18/05	The new monthly poll has started. You will find the poll in the lower left side panel. You may need to scroll down depending on the size of your monitor.... 7 people have voted so far..... Let's see how many members have which sizes of Whalers..... To view the previous polls, there is a "Polls Archive" link at the bottom of the Polls panel.
