1NEW BOATS - USED BOATS How to Avoid Buying into Unexpected Problems Illustrated with over 250 photos by the author The most comprehensive personal guide to the evaluation and selection of both new and used mid size power boat. This book arms you with the extensive knowledge of a professional marine surveyor to help you navigate through the bewildering array of choices available in the marine market. It dares to reveal the truth about boats and the boat building industry, covering the "untouchable" issues such as quality and seaworthiness that the rest of the publishing industry is unwilling to reveal without risking their advertising revenues. Independently published by author and marine surveyor David Pascoe, who has no ties to the boat building industry, this book is not shaped by the conflicts of interest that motivate so much of the marine publishing business. 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.
