Review from a Captain This book is the best of its kind and should come with every boat. I am a licensed master captain with decades of experience running and repairing boats. I also run an offshore fishing and diving charter boat (ORION - Out to Sea Adventures - Port Aransas, TX). Unfortunately, if it can break on a boat I have had to fix it. I also rebuilt several boats from the hull up. There are other good books out there and some may go into more detail on certain topics but if you do not own and read this book first you are doing you. "Great Resource" according to Robert Hoyman. I would reccomend this book to anyone who isn't afraid to take on tough jobs on their boat and wants to fully understand how everything works. I would tackle nearly anything with this in my galley library. I intend to purchase more of these as gifts for friends.
