Runabout Renovation: How to Find and Fix Up an Old Fiberglass Speedboat

Rating:
Summary: Great Book!
Review: I bought this book through references from a group of restorers on the internet. I was very pleased! This book takes you all the way through repairing and restoring an old runabout, from finding the right boat to final touch ups. I would call it mandatory if you're looking to restore an old fiberglass runabout.

Summary: From a beginner's viewpoint
Review: I had already started my restoration, when I ordered Runabout Renovation. It helped assure me that what I had done so far was OK, and gave many good pointers for later processes. Jim Anderson speaks in a frank manner, is quite thorough, and takes things in a logical progression without jumping around topic-wise. I'd love to see an updated and/or expanded edition with even more content dedicated to some of the fine folks on the web. A must have for your bookshelf if you're going to restore that old boat!

Summary: An absolute must for fiberglass boat restoration.
Review: This book is the ultimate source of information for the do-it-yourself fiberglass boat restorer. The time, money and effort saved by following Jim Anderson's advice makes this an absolute bargain. By using this as a guide for my own restoration project, I now have a boat that is unique in appearance (1964 Glastron Starflite Deville) yet it is stronger in construction than it was new. But the best part is that I was able to do it all for less than $1,000...a fraction of the cost of a new boat! This $16.95 investment is a no-brainer.
