3.0 out of 5 stars
Almost, but not quite,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quick and Easy Boat Maintenance: 1,001 Time-Saving Tips (Paperback)
I had high expectations of this book from reading the reviews. Yet, I found that alot of it did not apply to my situation. I own a 19 foot runabout for lake use only, and alot of the information in this book was specifically for larger off-shore boats. Still, some of the informaton will be useful I'm sure. I guess I was hoping for more technical maintenance stuff. If you own a large cuddy or deisel powered boat, this may be for you.

This book helped me save big bucks!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quick and Easy Boat Maintenance: 1,001 Time-Saving Tips (Paperback)
This book is filled with excellent tips that helped me throw away many of my expensive boat cleaners and replace them with cheaper, less caustic, yet equally thorough cleaning substitutes. Plus, my boat cleaning chores go quicker now. This book has paid for itself several times over. And I haven't even touched on the excellent engine maintenance tips it contains...
