How to evaluate design, construction and performance. This book is aimed at the US market and as such many of the designs shown and discussed are rarely found in the UK. However it is a first class book that does a lot more than skim the surface of a very large subject and anyone wishing to know more about many aspects of the powerboating could do a lot worse than starting here. It also contains details of over 300 new and used botas over 20ft long. 504 pages. PB.
