Being boating enthusiasts, this book provided our family with the detailed information needed to keep "our baby" (Boat) in tip top shape! We have been looking for answers to the many questions concerning grooming and upkeep of our boat for years. We just ordered two more copies to pass onto other boating friends, as well.
