So I had this idea while working on the Ranger this afternoon.

To wit:

I'm sponsoring a contest for rec.boats participants. The rules are
simple

The rules:

1 - There must be a minimum of fifteen participants in the Tall Tale
contest for the prizes to be put into effect.

2 - The Tall Tale must be fiction or at the very least, told in the
fashion of sitting around the bar going somebody one better.

3 - The Tall Tale must involve boating, cruising or fishing or a
combination of those subjects.

4 - The Tall Tale must be sent to me via email - I will publicly
acknowledge who has sent a tale here on rec.boats and repost it to
rec.boats.

5 - I will ask for a panel of non-participants in this contest to
judge the entries.

The Prizes:

First Place - $75

Second Place - $25.

Third Place - haven't figured that out yet.

So, before sending me your entries, what do you folks think - good
idea?

Prize money is way too high. Satisfaction in a job well done should be it's
own reward!
