Hysterical. Thanks.

I'm the guy that says damn the bottom paint. The only award I deserve is the "Messy Marvin" award.

2013 is a new year. My plan is to polish, wax, and splash before Easter. Maybe I'll take some pictures of that whole process as I do it and post them. Every now and then folks ask about what we all use to polish/wax etc.

That and a couple hundred more useful threads and maybe I'll wind up on a ballot some year. 8)

Can I make big bucks doing the university seminar circuit thing after I leave office? Can I get my own talk show? I promise to talk about boats but just to make it really fun because reverse rotation can get confusing, I'll throw in the odd paternity test 8)

ODD thing all the write ins came From the same Area of Canada as Big D , must be a lot of Trojans there I guess .

My vote has been cast.

This year the two contenders are both deserving of the title and for very different reasons.

I really appreciate what Scott did for us all and the Brand in handling the pennant order. It's been twenty years since the last Lancaster Trojan and personal time investments like this help keep our orphaned brand alive.
His work on the extensive boat project and the sharing he did with us all was an additional benefit.

Aaron continually shares his TriCab knowledge and while many of us come from the mechanical side, his sharing of his own unique perspective of his TriCab past, present & future has been a benefit to the Forum and the brand. Additional kudos to Aaron for having the balls to share his own personal life and his current battle with us here and for having the moxie to pull himself up and out using that boat ladder.

This Forum is essential to the ongoing sharing and preservation of information that is unavailable anywhere else. The existence of this site adds to the enjoyment of our passion for both the enthusiasts who support the Brand and for those "lurkers" who may be considering one of our boats or just a simple looker.

The Trojan Boater of the Year Nominees have contributed much to the enduring value of the Brand and of this Website.

Thank you both.
