Excellent overview for owners of trawlers

This easily read book provided great information on a host of topics relevent to a new large powerboat owner. It focused on trawlers and large power boats instead of sail boats. There were great tips and useful techniques on how to buy a large powerboat, outfitting your boat, maintenance, practical accessories, and many aspects of cruising life. There were many useful "tricks" to make daily onboard routines like maintenance and housekeeping more enjoyable. One of the more interesting tips was on "winterizing" your water tanks by adding cheap vodka. While the section on navigational equipment reflects the early 1990's it is still a highly educational and useful section. My wife also found this book fascinating, educational, and enjoyable and has a new more positive perspective about extended periods onboard. I highly recommend it for all new larger powerboat owners.
