Secondhand boat secrets - collector's edition

First published in 1995, Jeff says this unique publication quickly became established as the bible for anyone interested in buying a used power trailerboat in Australia.

Available now from leading newsagents and online, the new Collector's Edition of Secondhand Boat Secrets has been completely revised and expanded to more than 160 pages. Jeff said this square back, premium quality, full colour publication contains a wealth of information about buying a used boat - information that will prove invaluable to both novice and experienced boat buyers.

With the new edition of Secondhand Boat Secrets, the author takes the reader right through the process of buying secondhand - commencing with an in-depth discussion about the pros and cons of buying a used boat, and concluding with a comprehensive engine re-power chapter. In between are chapters on powered cats and trihulls, aluminium verses fibreglass boats, how to inspect the boat, motor and trailer, along with tips on how to avoid buying a "dog, lemon, or clunker".

Complementing the editorial are one and two-page reviews on 70 of Australia's best used trailerboats - including Jeff's pick of the all-time top 10 classics. Each review has photos, tips and techniques for identifying models, a price guide, and a time-line for when upgrades were made or new models introduced.

The Secondhand Boat Secrets - Collector's Edition has a recommended retail price of $11.95.

Copies can also be ordered direct from the publisher by sending a cheque or money order for $12.95 (includes $1 postage) to Jeff Webster, PO Box 344, Labrador, QLD. 4215.
