Inflatable Boats

Inflatable Boats
Selection, Care, Repair, and Seamanship
Jim Trefethen

The popularity of these boats is no mystery to anyone who owns one. Modern inflatables carry large loads safely but are lightweight enough to scoot along with only a modest outboard. The better boats are also rugged and capable of keeping passengers dry without banging up the mother ship. All inflatables require maintenance, however, and here's the place to get started. Until now, those wishing to repair their own boats were reduced to squinting at the labels wrapped around glue cans. With this book the owner of an inflatable can save thousands of dollars using simple maintenance and repair techniques to extend the life of his or her craft. If you don't already own an inflatable, this book will help you find one and keep it in top condition. If you've owned an inflatable for years, here's the book you've been waiting for.

Inflating History, That From Which They Come . .and How. Why an Inflatable? Selecting a Boat. Outboards, Oars, and Other Options. Inflatable Operations. Storage. Maintenance. Repairs You Can Do Yourself. Appendices: A: Sources of Supply. B: Inflatable Boat Companies.
