With its concise text and clear layout, this guide will become a welcome addition to your boating library. --M. Stein

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost, but not quite, April 10, 2002
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me save big bucks!, June 6, 2000
By A Customer
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...

This book is the best of Sandy's how-to tips for that ran in Boating for the past 5 years, and about 500 more tips that I hadn't read before. A handy compilation that's a must for every boater's workshop bookshelf.
