This book was very well organized and contained a lot of concerns I would not have thought of prior to reading it.  Every person considering buying a boat should read this book first - especially if you are considering an expensive or specialty boat.The author covers every aspect of the buying process, and even discusses whether you should even buy a boat when you can often rent or lease a boat several times a year and save yourself consider money.I thought the most helpful section was the one about the investigation process and trial period before you actually buy the boat.  Make sure that you don't get scammed or buy a boat that is need of major repairs.  I learned how to tell if a boat has been involved in an accident or has major mechanical problems.  Also helpful was the section on warranties and making sure that you don't pay for pre-existing problems.  Highly recommended.
