OMC Cobra Stern Drive, 1986-98 Review

This repair manual has been a lot of help with my restoration/rebuild of an 1987 boat with an OMC sterndrive engine. Good information on routine maintenance, tune-ups and winterizing your boat also.

Runabout Renovation: How to Find and Fix Up an Old Fiberglass Speedboat Review

This book is the ultimate source of information for the do-it-yourself fiberglass boat restorer. The time, money and effort saved by following Jim Anderson's advice makes this an absolute bargain. By using this as a guide for my own restoration project, I now have a boat that is unique in appearance (1964 Glastron Starflite Deville) yet it is stronger in construction than it was new. But the best part is that I was able to do it all for less than $1,000...a fraction of the cost of a new boat! This $16.95 investment is a no-brainer.

Fiberglass Boat Repairs Illustrated Review

i just bought and read the entire book. very good illustrations. the weakness (from my perspective only) is the book is more informative about boat building, but it does cover all aspects of repair. like the other fiberglass repair books i've read, this book explains that about 95+ percent of boats have been built with polyester resin, yet most repairs in the book focus more on using exopy to make repairs. because my boat is gelcoated over polyester resin, i am more interested in polyester repairs.

SELOC Honda Outboards Repair Manual Review

With 22 years of mechanical experience, I found this book to be poorly organized, was severely lacking in schematics and illustrations, and tended to describe procedures only half way. It seemed at times that the author was not even fluent in English. This book will only add frustration to the job. Look elsewhere.

Coastal Cruising Under Power: How to Buy, Equip, Operate, and Maintain Your Boat Review

It's hard to find disinterested reviews of boats. The authors seem to find the good points [and almost any boat has some] to write about, leaving you to figure out what the bad points are by exclusion.
Any boat is a compromise, and designed to do one sort of job really well. The trick in selecting the right boat for your purposes is accurately listing just what it is that you want the boat to do. This book is predicated on the idea that you want a boat to take several people in comfort and safety for several days or longer through potentially challenging waters -- the coast of British Columbia, for example.
If that's the case, this may be your book. It discusses each of the many systems on board and suggests which alternatives are most likely to meet your needs. I learned a lot from it when we were looking at trawlers last year -- and would recommend it without reservation to someone in a similar position.

Sail Away: A Guide to Outfitting and Provisioning for Cruising Review

Paul and Sheryl Shard built their own boat and sailed it to the Bahamas. That was the original plan, and then they kept on going! They sailed to Europe and back to Toronto via Brazil, and the Caribbean.
They have been cruising for 10 years now, and are living the dream of many. Rather than a week here and there, or even a year sabbatical, they manage to cruise about six months a year, writing, and filming for their TV show.
This book has been updated and reflects the kind of knowledge that is only gained but doing again and again. They have the right attitude and obviously have found something that works. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to turn their dreaming into reality.

The Complete Trailer Sailor: How to Buy, Equip, and Handle Small Cruising Sailboats Review

I have been a trailor sailor for many years, and have bought most of the books of the subject over the years. This is the most comprehensive book on CRUISING trailor sailors to come out. It brings the problem of big trailor sailors that are very difficult to trailor and launch to the fore. One warning, the displacements listed at the end of the book are those provided by the manufacturers. They usually do not include the weight of trailor, sails, mast/boom, equipment,and are often still faked lower than they really are. For example, I looked at the Telstar last year which is listed in the book and by the manufacturer as 3000lbs, but owners had taken theirs to commercial scales and measured them as being close to 7000lbs. This goes for most of the boats listed.

Complete Guide To Outboard Engines Review

This book provides a good overview over HOW an outboard works. However, if you don't have a good grasp of technical terms and an engine manual, much of the learning in this book is hard to use. Detailed diagrams and a longer list of defined terms would make this book a 5-star effort.

Fix It and Sail: Everything You Need to Know to Buy and Retore a Small Sailboat on a Shoestring Review

Good Book! March 12, 2006
Mike in Seattle
The one thing wrong with this book is the blurb on the front cover. It should read "Everything You Really Need to Know..." But, the disservice is done to the author--not to readers. It is not possible to tell everything that everyone might need to know in order to do something. What this book does tell is what anyone who is even contemplating restoring a sailboat had better know. It is far more than an overview of the author's own project though, Rather than just hitting the highlites, it covers e-v-e-r-y important point to keep in mind for the project from beginning to end. I have worked with hand tools for more than forty years, and it still gave me some pointers!
There is one thing peculiar about the book. Women, can't seem to keep their hands off it. My wife and her girl friend both liked the book. As if that wasn't strange enough, I took the book with me to my doctors office, and ended up checked into the emergency ward. At one point, I woke up to find my nurse looking through the book. Well, I guess that might be helpful for a guy trying to talk his wife into such a project, but it seemed kind of odd. I asked, and apparently they simply like the way the guy thinks.

Rich Johnson's Guide to Trailer Boat Sailing Review

As a young old salt, I've ridden the waves enough times to know a good guide when I see one. This book taught me a few things, even though I thought I knew everything. I also like the stories in the second half of the book. The tech parts are very enlightening and the adventures he and his family have bring back lots of memories. The breezy writing style made the tech parts easy to take, and the stories were both lessons learned and funny. The book is every bit as good as his wilderness guide, and I'll keep them both by my side.
