Power Boating
By Capt. Dan Berg

Power boats provide a means to enjoy the great outdoors in a wide
variety of areas. Boat owners can enjoy inshore or offshore fishing,
water skiing, swimming or just cruising. Each owner will be able to
find a boat that fits not only his pocket book but also his planned
water sport activity. Above you will find links to a variety of the
most popular boat manufacturers. I recommend starting your search here.
Once a manufacturer or model is found then contact your local
distributor and go take a look. Please be sure to check out all the key
construction details and make sure you take a ride. Many boat may look
great but then do not perform as well as desired in the field. For
example if you want to go offshore fishing. You can search the above
listed links for fishing boats. Compare manufacturers and then check
out a few models. More important then how the boat looks will be how
she performs when the weather kicks up. How much fuel she burns and how
fast she can get you to your favorite offshore fishing grounds. When I
had my most recent vessel custom built I actually contacted about six
different shops that made similar looking vessels. I crawled through
each and compared how each was constructed (solid fiberglass, cored
hull, solid or I-beam stringers etc). I then measure up each vessel.
What I found was huge differences in depth and width. For my
application some of these hulls would perform better in a head sea and
others would require more hp to obtain my desired speed. As with
everything a little compromise when comparing cost, verses weight
bearing and sea handling narrowed the field greatly. End result is I
got exactly what I wanted and paid for (no surprises). Another quick
story that proves the importance of research and investigative boat
shopping is when a friend went out and bought a 13' Boston whaler. The
boat was bought for his daughter with the plans of teaching her how to
water ski. Unfortunately, although the used boat looked and ran great
it lacked the power to pull up all but the smallest of kids on water
ski's. Anyway, when shopping for a boat make sure you know exactly what
you are getting and that the boat that has caught your eye or fits into
your planned budget will in fact provide you with the safety, fun and
adventure you and your family deserve.

Please remember that as with many new activities it is always
recommended to obtain proper training. Boating is no different. Even
though in most States any adult who can afford to buy a boat may turn
the key and head offshore, this is not the smart thing to do. For those
that have grown up around the water you know that Mother Nature can be
a little nasty. Simple things like learning how to get home in heavy
fog or how to handle the boat when the flat calm ocean you went out in
turns into 4, 6 or even 12' seas. I do not want to scare anyone from
enjoying boating. Only want to stress the importance of basic
navigation skills and watching the weather conditions. Of course these
are more important for the offshore angler but even the bay fisherman
will find a basic seamanship course a rewarding and informative way to
keep the activity we all love safe and enjoyable.

The Powerboat Guide

Book Description
For more than a decade, the PowerBoat Guide has been the undisputed
source for information on new and used powerboat models from 27 to 85
feet. Covering over 1,700 of the most popular current and
out-of-production models, the new 2005 edition is by far the largest
PowerBoat Guide ever. If you're shopping for new or used trawler,
motoryacht, sportfisherman, or family cruiser built in the past 25
years, there's a good chance it's included in the PowerBoat Guide.
Pictures, specifications, and floorplans are presented for each model
along with concise, often candid, editor's comments. Often called "The
Yacht Broker's Bible," no other reference publication compares with the
PowerBoat Guide in its coverage of today's big-boat market.
