Hi.
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.

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"

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.
