  Explains every aspect of motorboating, from sportsboats to speedboats to runabouts. It answers such questions as whether twin engines are always better than one?; whether diesel is better than petrol; what is the most efficient way to drive a fast boat; what revs are best for peak engine performance; and how to choose the right propeller. Driving technique is also explained, with many tips on manoeuvring and berthing, anchoring, using locks, handling in rough water and even stormy conditions. There are sections on boat electrics, fuel systems, engine care, rights of way, and even water skiing and trailering.
