Secondhand Boat Secrets magazine released
Boatsales contributor and journalist, Jeff Webster releases updated guide to buying a used boatAvailable now from leading newsagents and online at http://www.jeffwebster.com.au/, the 2014/2015 update of Jeff Webster’s Secondhand Boat Secrets – Collector’s Edition is essential reading for anyone looking to buy a “pre-loved” power trailerboat.
Encompassing 148 pages in a full-colour format, the new Secondhand Boat Secrets has hundreds of photos, and lots of great information, tips and advice on how to identify the good quality boats on the market from the dogs, lemons and clunkers.
Secondhand Boat Secrets has chapters covering the pros and cons of buying a used boat, alloy vs fibreglass boats, choosing a layout, powered catamarans vs trihulls, and how to inspect the boat, engine and trailer. The editorial section concludes with a chapter debating the merits of repowering vs reconditioning your outboard or sterndrive engine.
Complimenting the editorial-based chapters are one and two page reviews on 70 of Australia’s best used trailerboats -- including iconic craft like the Bertram 25 flybridge, Formula 233, Haines Hunter V19R, V17L, 565L and 635L, Savage Marlin and Bluefin, SharkCat 18 and 23, and the Seafarer V-Sea, Viking and Victory.
For the new edition of Secondhand Boat Secrets, some boat reviews have been dropped, and new reviews added. 10 of the 70 reviews are exclusive to the 2014/2015 update edition -- and include boats from top brands like Allison, Haines Hunter, Quintrex, Mustang, Signature, Savage and more.
Each of the boat reviews contains at least two colour photographs, tips for identifying different models, a price guide for each craft, and a time-line for when upgrades were made, or new models introduced.
Buying a used trailerboat is a tricky process, with plenty of traps and pitfalls for the inexperienced and unwary. If you’re thinking of buying a used powerboat, grab yourself a copy of Secondhand Boat Secrets – Collector’s Edition. The information contained in this detailed, well researched boat-buyer’s guide could save you time, heart-ache and money.
