1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money !, June 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Handling Twin Engine Inboard/Outboard [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video was done for real world boating. There were no currents or winds to contend with. Dock was done between two piers, not a $150,000 boat on the other side that you might slide into. I haven't ever seen a slip where you have two docks on both sides. Would be nice. But the all the ones I know are for two boats per slip. I wrote to Bennett Marine and asked for a real world videa for handling twin I/O's on a power boat that's not a ski boat. We have a 34" Carver with a bimini top. So sometimes we're like a sailboat without a rudder. That's what we needed help in learning how to handle it.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK, no more., April 10, 2011

This review is from: Handling Twin Engine Inboard/Outboard [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've bought all sorts of boat handling books and videos, always looking for some kernal of wisdom or some new trick. This video is pretty much like everything else in this genre: maybe helpful to the rank beginner but little more. If you're thinking about moving to a twin engine boat, this might be a good introduction but is best rented or bought on sale. Really, books and videos about boat handling are mostly an illusion; there really is no substitute for direct instruction from an experienced captain and practice, practice, practice. A book or a video is at most helpful for learning the vocabulary and getting some sense of the issues; it won't teach you to handle a boat with a lot of windage, with a crosswind, in a narrow slip, with an engine out or sputtering, and with a wife or SO freaking out. Only practice will do that and with that last one, even practice doesn't help much.
