Buying Your First Boat: Rules of the Road for Power Boaters and Sailors - Paperback

by F. C. Pierce (Author)

If you're looking at this book, you are probably considering the purchase of your first boat. Not a rowboat, or a canoe, or a dinghy, but a vessel large enough to take you, your family and friends out on the ocean or some other body of water, and you are uncertain about the process.

Is it like buying a car? How big a boat do you need? Must you have a license to drive a boat? Where should you start your search?

I have been on both sides of the sales process: a broker and a buyer/owner. The road to your first boat is not as long or as arduous as you think. Follow the course I chart and you'll find so many good boats that the hardest part will be choosing which one is best for you. The right boat is out there waiting for you. Let's go find it!
