About the Author:
Bo Streiffert is a writer and boating enthusiast.
Review:
For those already in the frying pan of boat ownership, Modern Boat Maintenance by Bo Streiffert is chockablock full of ideas for maintaining and improving your boat. It blends minimal text with good descriptive graphics, beginning with basic fiberglass boatbuilding, which will allow owners to refit or install even major items like bulkheads. The majority of the text, however, covers common major and minor projects from replacing overhead liners and building teak gratings to troubleshooting engines and updating electrical charging equipment. (Cruising World)

Modern Boat Maintenance: The Complete Fiberglass Boat Manual offers detailed information and helpful illustrations on repairs as various as replacing deck planking and windows. It is also filled with tips, from fairing keels and doing your own rigging to building storage boxes. The chapter on engines, the book's longest and most detailed chapter, has excellent labeled illustrations and various auxiliaries and their parts, such as fuel systems, ignitions and turbo chargers. This book will point do-it-yourselfers in the right direction. (Sailing)

Modern Boat Maintenance covers a wide range of material in sufficient depth to be of real value. This is particularly true in its treatment of fiberglass construction methods. It's written so you can figure out what originally when into your boat and properly repair relatively minor damage. In addition, the chapters on hill, deck, superstructure and rigging all contain lots of how-to goodies on improvements and better ways to do things. It has been a while since a book of this genre has hit the market, and all in all, this is a pretty good one. So, if you're in the market for a good, basic introductory book on fiberglass maintenance, this one will fill the bill. (The Ensign)
