5.0 out of 5 stars Small shop boat building
This is the only book of it's kind that was actually written by a hands on boat builder. The easy to follow book is a must for the novice aluminum boat builder.

3.0 out of 5 stars After reading this book, you'll want to build a boat.
When I first received the book, it looked like a text book. Within the first two chapters though, I was hooked. Mr. Pollard coveys a vast amount of information in a very easy reading style. I wish all "how to" books were as easy to read and understand.

This book is well written and informative. The information can be technical, so it is not for the casual reader. However, if you want to build an aluminum boat (or purchase one and understand the build process), you should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steve Pollard, February 13, 2011
Steve Pollard is the author. Steve is a very talented and knowledgeable designer and builder of aluminum boats. He owns Specmar, which is a company that sells designs and NC cut files for building aluminum boats up to about 50'. I am a boat builder and have used many of his designs and built his boats. I have the highest regard for Steve, his knowledge, and his professionalism. Buy this book if you are interested in aluminum boats! You will learn a lot.
