Choosing
Outboard Boats for Offshore Boating
Buyers'
Guide to Outboard Boats is totally dedicated
to blue water type outboard boats, not jet boats, I/O's,
pontoon boats, bass boats or mega yachts. You won't be
just reading part of it and disregarding the rest. Or
paying for something that is irrelevant. What
I mean by "blue water" type boats are boats
that are sea worthy for heading out into larger bodies
of water, not just small lakes and protected bays, etc.

How
to Avoid Buying into Unexpected Problems
Mid
Size Power Boats focuses exclusively
on fiberglass power boats of the cruiser class generally
30-55 feet, with discussions on the pros and cons of each
type: Expresses, trawlers, motor yachts, multi
purpose types, sport fishermen, and sedan cruisers.
The
most comprehensive personal guide to the evaluation and
selection of both new and used mid size power boats. |
