A superb, user-friendly guide for avid boating enthusiasts

Tail Fins and Two-Tones: The Guide to America's Classic Fiberglass and Aluminum Runabouts begins with a lengthy overview of stylish American runabout boats, and then offers a meticulous listing of the hundreds of companies that made them. Each listing includes the company's current address, if still in business, and many offer notes on the types and distinctive features of boats each company has made or continues to make.
