Marine Outboard Motor Owners Needed - £85 cash to give your opinions

Hello sailors!

I am a market research recruiter and look for people to take part in group discussions about a whole range of different products and services. All participants are paid cash for their time and opinions and my latest project is a rather unusual one for which I am looking for people who own marine outboard motors, hence why I was looking for contacts on your forum.

Here are the details for the marine outboard motor owners that I need to find:

Group discussion date & time:
Wednesday 4th March - 8.15-10.15pm
Venue: Central Reading
Payment per participant: £85 cash

If you know of anyone who would be interested in taking part I would be very grateful if you felt able to pass this message on….equally, if you or anyone you know would be interested in taking part in any other group discussions, I have new discussions coming up all the time so am always looking for fresh people to take part.

Thanks again,

Judith Sullivan
Market Research Recruiter

£85! Would you Adam and Eve it! I'd be up for something like that if it was in Scotland. Obviously the 2-stroke guys would sit separately from the wet sump brigade. It might be free cash but we have some standards!

Will do, but I draw the line at sharing a room at a Travelodge.

You're probably safe. She's a market researcher, not a priest

Can't see why anyone would want to pay £85 each to listen to a load of old farts arguing to the Nth degree about engines. They can do it on here for free😄

Hi there, there is no scam. I am working for a research company who are doing a job on behalf of a engine manufacturer and we genuinely need the opinions of owners about their experience, decision over purchase etc. Sorry if I haven't called you yet. I will do today. If any of you are interested I would be really keen to hear from you.


Have a good weekend.


Kind regards,
Judith
