My husband just bought his first boat so I picked this up for him knowing that he would never pick up a book for himself. He had the whole thing read cover to cover within the first week (I think it's the first book he's read cover to cover in years! :) He's commented numerous times how helpful the book has been- not only for handling his own boat, but learning about other types of boats in general as well.

I read the book as preparation for a ASA's close quarters powerboat maneuvering. Good book, I liked most of the content and the content was 95% of what was needed for the class (there was one question on the test that related to some other book, which the school or instructor did not mention). For what I needed (prepping for using multiple types of boats in charters) there was a little bit too much repetition as each section on inboard, outboard, twin, etc. ... repeated a lot of the material/principles - to the point where it was annoying. But I can also see how such organization of the book would appeal to a powerboat owner/about to be owner as they could simply read the relevant section (buying twin-screw? read just those sections/chapters). One would think that as an electronic book the layout/organization could be adjusted - say the first question a read answers is "chartering vs. own your boat + type?" and then the book would be laid out appropriately to remove the duplicated/unnecessary information.
One more thing about the videos: somehow on my Kindle App on iPad Mini they rendered I thought in wrong places relative to the text (usually 2-3 pages earlier than the text). Not a big deal overall, but this added to the annoyance.
Bottom line: this is the only book I've read as preparation and after the 2 day class I feel pretty confident driving and especially parking a 40 foot power boat (feels like driving a bus on the road btw).
