Complete Wooden Runabout Restoration Guide

In this comprehensive restoration guide for owners and enthusiasts of wooden powerboats built from the early 1920s through the 1960s, author Don Dannenberg, one of the world’s top authorities on the subject, covers all aspects of wood restoration and reconstruction, as well as hardware, running gear, wiring, plumbing, upholstery, and trailers. Fully illustrated with step-by-step color photos and written in an entertaining style that stresses sound reconstruction techniques over preservation of original components, this comprehensive volume also includes resource listings and glossaries.
