Boating Questionnaire

[Tequilasun]

Hello all!

I'm a student at the University of Texas at Austin and I'm conducting a research study on boating characteristics. I would really appreciate it if you all could just fill this questionnaire out as much or as little as you want. It would really help our research go a long way! Feel free to ask me questions if you have more. Thank you so much! =)

Thanks for all of you that have replied!

And yes, I am aware I'm posting this on a Tige forum and our questions are Tige specific. For clarification - we are actually doing research for our class FOR Tige and we thought it would be nice to have some perspective from Tige owners. Hope this clarifies things somewhat, and thanks for helping me out!

Ahhhh.....makes sense now
