dinghy fun

This book is written in a way that is very funny and very informative in the area of inflatable boats. It answers almost all questions that may enter ones mind about inflatable boat ownership and such things as handling, maintaining and repairing one. Even without owning an inflatable, it is still funny and good reading. Danger; Not owning an inflatable boat of any kind and reading this book makes you want to go and buy one.

You will laugh and learn!

The book is filled with good humor, and contains a lot of useful information. Intended for the average person, the book will answer basic questions regarding inflatables that you may have. It will ease your decision on buying the boat, outboard and some of the extras available. I'd say that if you have no previous experience with inflatables, this book will be a great reading experience. At the end of the book, it even lists a lot of the manufacturers of inflatables and their addresses. I'd say this book is worth every single penny.
