honestly you could probably learn a lot going to a boat show and walking around take some stats. it would probably be the best thing for your project.

Where did I go wrong in life? Pretty sure none of my college papers included powerboats! :angry-smiley-038:

We are a group students from Plymouth University conducting research into small powerboats and the features that are seen as the most important.

The questions we are hoping to find answers to are:

What deck layout is favoured on 15-20ft sized powerboats?
What features/options are “must-haves”?
What is valued most in a powerboat? (Speed, reliability, safety etc)

Thank you for any help you can give. :)

Honestly you are on the wrong website. Blow boaters (sail boaters) classify any boat with an engine a "powerboat" but this site is about FAST High Performance Powerboats.

Good luck on your research. I would recommend giving and asking for more detailed info though. There is A LOT more to selecting the proper boat, and what reasons went into that selection, than what you have asked.

Actually I am sort of disappointed the more I think about this, what are they teaching you in schools today???

Oh wait I didn't care for school anyways.....started my own business while in high school, then skipped college to start my next business.

Again I honestly wish you all the best.......and I think your class is going to need it.

What he said... but in the range your talking a certain percentage involve a spontaneous "hey they looks like fun" spur of the moment purchase. This is qiuckly followed by a grumpy wife stating " everything is fine"

Put that in your Study!!!!

Sounds good to me. Let's get this thread going further in the right track.

In college, these people seem to know what works !

Wanna be succesful, start by copying those that are successful ! LOl.

This guy was creative.

Small boat and an egg beater.

What can one do ? Add a gas powered drink blender mounted on the egg beater.

Bring on the thongs!
