Product Description
Be it a small runabout or a grand sedan cruiser, the classic power boats of yesteryear share the same essential features at heart: beautiful, flowing lines; exotic hardwoods; and the need for loving care. The history of these personal wooden power boats unfolds in over 100 photos, with insights into building, upkeep, and the passion that drives their owners. "Large-format book -- half text, half photographs in blazing color -- about speedboats, runabouts, launches, and utilities from the Golden Era; in spades."--Wooden Boat

Beautiful Boats! June 13, 2000 DiabetesDoc (New Jersey) 17 out of 21 found this review helpful
I just saw this coffe-table book while snooping around a bookstore, and had to thumb through it: beautiful wood boats -- of course there's ChrisCraft, but many others I had never heard of.Get this book for yourself, and/or your favorite "captain" and "crew": in my case, for my father-in-law, who owned such boats, and for my wife, who continually spins yarns about growing up with these beauties.
