Customer Reviews
Terrific Reference
I have read the hardback version cover to cover and would highly recommend to anyone owning or considering owning a larger boat (say 30' to 70'). He goes into incredible and useful detail about most things mechanical and electrical. I was amazed and embarrased at how much more I learned after nearly 50 years of boating. It is also well organized and written and pretty well up to date as of 2016.
