You cast your votes, and the results are in for Southern Boating’s 2021 Readers’ Choice Awards. Every vote was counted, including the write-in candidates, and tallied in a secure location without any bias…or stuffing of the ballot box. Nearly 85,000 readers voted for their preference in 36 categories from favorite power catamaran to long-range cruiser and must-have apparel to favorite fishing reel. Safety products, best boatyard, favorite resort with marina, navigation equipment and radar, marine audio speakers, and sunglasses are a sampling of what’s included in this year’s choices. There were quite a few categories in which first and second place were separated by only a few percentage points, but overall, there was a definite winner. Thank you to all our readers who participated. Your input made this event a huge success.
