5.0 out of 5 stars Book review, June 18, 2008

Tom - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Trailering Your Boat: How to Select, Use, Maintain, and Improve Boat Trailers (Paperback)

We are experienced boaters (have owned 1 other trailer boat 21 ft. and a 28 ft. Bayliner in Seattle.

This book provides lots of good ideas, additional information and things to remember. We thought we knew it all, but found several things in the book that helped us with a boat we just purchased.

Good book.
