Are you one of many NSW South Coast anglers planning to buy a new boat this summer?
Alternatively, you may only want to check out all the new top market boats and gear for the year 2000.
Either way, you could do no better than to get a copy of Jeff Webster's new summer magazine The Fish and Family Boat Guide (second edition).
Fully revised and updated for the year 2000 (with new boats and photos), the guide is a top read for anyone interested in buying a new trailer-boat.
Fibreglass or aluminium, you'll find everything you need to make the right choice.
The Fish & Family Boat Guide (second edition) is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to buying a new trailer-boat, be it for chasing tuna or marlin in the deep blue water off Wollongong, whiting and flathead in Lake Illawarra, or trout in the Snowy Mountain lakes.
Previous Jeff Webster boating guides include Second-hand Boat Secrets; Second-hand Trailer-boats; Fitting Out For Sport Fishing and my favourite read Fitting Out for Lake and River Fishing.
The new guide combines a series of informative, educational chapters with a catalogue of all the new and interesting boats from Australia's leading trailer-boat manufacturers.
The 2000 boat guide sets out to answer all the questions facing the new boat buyer: alloy or fibreglass? Monohull or multihull? Deep vee or shallow vee hull? Runabout or half cabin? Centre console, centre cabin or bow rider? Family or fishing boat? Two stroke or four-stroke outboard? Outboard or stern drive? Petrol or diesel? One motor or two?
Other chapters touch on trailers and towing, safety and seamanship, marine electronics (GPS receivers, depth sounders, radios), fitting out for fishing, and much more.
All this technical information is presented in an easy-to-read format, making it perfect for people who are starting to learn about boats and boating.
Complementing the technical articles, The Fish & Family Boat Guide reviews the latest boats produced by Australia's top trailer-boat manufacturers. There's more than 20 pages brimming with information on the latest and greatest rigs.
The Fish & Family Boat Guide is essential reading for anyone interested in buying a new trailer-boat. Every facet of buying a new rig is covered in detail to help you choose the right boat for your favourite boating activity, be it pleasure or fishing.
Jeff Webster's guide is available from newsagents across Australia.
