A new bi-monthly online publication from Boat US was just recently introduced. It's called Used Boat Watch. It provides side-by-side reviews of popular powerboat models going back to the 1980s. Neat idea, and may be a good quick reference tool when looking at a used boat. Just thought I would pass it along for anyone interested.

Well, that was not one of the most popular posts......

The E-mag is published by the same guy that publishes The Powerboat
Guide. Lots of good reference material in it. Here is a link to the 2008 Edition FWIW.

Cap'n .... Don't get all flustered... I'm sure people looked at the magazine. I tried last night at home and couldn't get it to load.

I like the concept but how long before they run out of boats to profile? I really like the format where you click on the bottom of the page and it turns the page for you ! This is a very cool concept that I have only seen once before and wish other publications like the Autotrader etc... would adopt it. I like how quickly it switches versus clicking on individual pages and waiting for them to load.
