By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The people at International Marine know a subject that was in desperate needed of a book. This book not only describes methods to keep your boat looking great but also names names! It provides the brand names you can buy from your local marine store. This is a must buy for any boater's library.

Excellent Book to keep forever!! 14 July 2006
By John's wife - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
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.

Too bad they didnt make the pages water proof!!

This is the BIBLE for your BOAT! A must have! A must Keep!
