Power Boating For Dummies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed this book. I didn't really know what the style of my boat was considered, but after reading this, I learned that I own a Walkaround, or express boat. That alone was worth the price of the book.
This book really covers everything well in a very readable format.
Just about every topic that I wanted to learn something more about was in this book.
It's no replacement for Chapman's Piloting and Seamanship, which is the definitive tome for boating. But if you need more of an intro to boating, this book is highly recommended.
