Synopses & Reviews
Born of an admiration for the scores of outboard-powered family runabouts built between the close of World War II and the early 1970s, this celebration of a great era in boating chronicles the craft responsible for the postwar boating boom. Flamboyant hull designs, extravagant tail fins, and exceptional durability were the marks of these runabouts, many of which are still on the waters today. Individual chapters address the most famous aluminum and fiberglass runabouts and provide tips for what to look for when buying a vintage boat. Information about the sales history, motors, and restoration of the most popular boats is also included.
