well about my boat,
in this order
A)-Year and model of the boat, especially if it's a rarer one
B)-Engine specs, especially if it's been modified or is a rarer option
C)-Restoration info it it applies
D)-where the picture was taken
E)-how you use the boat.
F)-hours on current state of the boat after engine rebuild (if rebuilt at all)
A) 1979 Ski nautique
B) Engine: 351 windsor, 4 barrel holly, no aftermarket modifications to the engine.
Audio: JL 12 on a 300 watt amp, 2 alpine 6x9s w/ 150watts a piece, 2 6" clarion speakers, pioneer premier cd player.
C) Only thing replaced was interior with new brown, and floors replaced with 3/4 thick plastic board.
D) Hiwassee river Tn near day beacon 9.4
E) Pull tubes, wakeboard, and kneeboard. i run roughly a 500Lbs fat sack in the back for wakeboarding, and do not use a pole extension. My buddy can do flips just off the ski pole with fat sack easy.
F) Currently have 2066hrs last time i checked

Keith,
I don't really see enough photos or votes for any of them other than those who have nominated them. What is considered a "top" photo? Just wondering...
Last year everyone had a vote of three photo's for each month. You must have a ton of other pictures your considering then? Do the "fans" get to vote?
Moj'
PS: the successful pictures from last year were ones without people. And to add a bunch of text to a 8-1/2X 11 calendar will take away from the photo in my humble opinion.. Perhaps year, make and model only..
Remember the old "Snap on' tool calendars guys?????? Do you really care what their names were or what the chicks interests are??? Yeah Not so much hahahaha...
Remember, the sales of the calendars benefit the site. They should be made as generic as possible, with some high quality pics of "BOATs". It what I would buy as a "CC Fan"... Gotta think of the mass interest...

I agree with Moj.
Year, Model, Owner, City/State.

My idea would be to have the info on the opposite page, meaning above the actual calendar numbers, not interfering with the picture.

Of course!! How am I supposed to talk to them if I don't know what they're into 
If their interests include waterskiing, wakeboarding and vintage inboards then I really want to know

Not sure Keith can change the actual page where the dates are. The page above contains the pictures. Check the one you bought this year (sorry, don't know if you got one)...
Never the less, year make, model, that's all that's needed Hell @ 5 feet away on a wall, I can't even read the calendar day numbers.. This is not a poster size product in case you haven't seen one...
Then again, my eyes are about shot hahahaha..

I think it would be cool to see some basic info- year and model of the boat, who the owner is, and where it calls home, at a minimum. What about adding the text to the picture itself- tuck it into a corner that doesnt interfere with the boat itself and just print it with a contrasting font color?

I have my 2010 calendar proudly hanging on my cube wall! It winds up being somewhat of a conversation piece too.

I think if you're gonna include info about the boat of the month it should be Year, Model, Owner, where taken, and who took it. Most of us regular members (and those who would more than likely purchase a calender) knows where the boat lives. A great shot of a CCFan members' boat might be taken on a lake that isn't it's normal playground. I'd bet half of if not the majority of pictures are taken at reunions or gatherings. To include this info on the calender just might have a positive affect and entice members to attend if they know the many pictures taken during these events might end up being a great calender shot for the following year. Just my $.02

Josh,
I get the concept, but all that writting kills the picture of your boat.. I want to clance at a calendar and see the boat of the month, not the writing.. Nope, kills it for me...
If anything, perhaps the description can be done along the bottom edge, under the boat shot and before the CCFan logo on the bottom right.
Year Make Model Lake, yeah, that's it.... who cares who took the picture..

what if there was a page or 2 added on the very back of the calender with smaller pictures of the boat and under neath it a description about everything. With adding the pages to the back, while hanging on the wall and someone asks a question you can just pick up the back and read the pages with out having to take the calender off the wall.

I thought it was a nice touch Chris. You could go to the back and get info about the girls. Way more bang for your buck on the main pages, no words at all! That's where I first saw Tila Tequila, Playboy Exotic Beauties from like '01. Big thank you goes out to my wife. That one is still nestled away in my gun safe, away from the kids which I now have.

I like the pictures of these beauties in motion...these boats were proudly made as workhorses and everyone I've met runs them as such...these boats run like a scolded dog, and I'd like to see them that way in a calender...trailer queens need not apply...
