Since the publication of Chapman"s Trailerboat Guide more than 10 years ago, a lot has changed, from state laws regulating trailers to available equipment. That"s why this thorough revision and expansion of that manual, written by Trailerboating Magazine"s Senior Editor, is a must-have. Packed with full-color illustrations and photos, it covers all the basics: from individual explanations of the boat, trailer, and towing vehicle to a complete discussion of how they work together. You"ll find out about common problems and how to anticipate the things that can--and sometimes will--go wrong. There"s an on-the-road checklist, information on maintenance, and advice on accessories. With this knowledge, you"ll be able to boat safely and efficiently wherever a launch ramp"s available.
