  • Great book for first time owners or window shoppers
This is a great book for those that are either thinking about buying or owning a boat that have no prior experience being around boats and for those of us that have been around boats that want more detailed information or advice about various things (like how to use a marine radio, markers, etc). I read the book from cover to cover severeal times before making a decision as to what kind of boat I wanted to buy and it helped me through the process. ... show more

  • Great information.
This is going to be a gift for someone but it had great reviews so I figured it would be a good buy. I looked through it upon arrival and I think it contains everything and more a new boat owner might need. I think the gift recipient will enjoy it.

  • Basic Manual only
I was hoping for more from this handbook. Mostly what I was looking for was buying a used Pontoon. It didn't have any. General info on boating safety and piloting the boat in and out of the dock.

  • good book for the novice pontoon owner or future owner
This book although a little dated shares many insightful processes when either purchasing a boat or one already owned. Fast delivery and decent price. Condition was as stated. Found many subjects that can be related to a novice owner or as a refresher to the toon family of owners. Was happy that this edition was available. ... show more

  • GREAT BOOK
I read this book a few years ago before my purchase of a 22 foot pontoon boat. This book was very helpful and had many good guides and illustrations on what to look for when operating a boat .I mislaid this book and I am ordering another copy. I would highly recommend it.

  • Perfect!
My husband is restoring an older boat and this is very informative. It has helped him immensely with getting the boat ready for use. The book is like new and was delivered quickly. I actually bought 2 of these.
