Boating journalist, Jeff Webster, has released a fourth volume in his series on buying a secondhand trailerboat. The latest title is called Secondhand Fishing Boats 1990 - 2005. This glossy new 100 page magazine is jam packed with information and advice on what to look out for when buying a used trailerboat.

Now available from newsagents (and online at www.jeffwebster.com.au), Secondhand Fishing Boats 1990 - 2005 will prove invaluable to people looking to buy a good condition, late model trailerboat. As the name of the magazine implies, there are over 100 reviews on trailerboats built between 1990 and 2005.

Secondhand Fishing Boats 1990 - 2005 opens with a series of chapters on how to inspect a boat, engine and trailer. This is essential reading for boating newcomers. The tips and techniques you can learn from these articles can help you avoid buying a lemon - and save you thousands of dollars.

Complimenting the technical articles are reviews on 102 of the best, most popular trailerable fishing boats manufactured between 1990 and 2005. Importantly, more than 80 of these boats are unique to Secondhand Fishing Boats magazine; you won't read about them in Webster's other used boat buyers guides.

The secondhand boat review section of the magazine has been divided up into a series of categories to obtain a good cross section of boat sizes, types and models. The categories include Bay Runabouts, Family Cuddy Cabins, Coastal Fishing Boats, Offshore Fishing Rigs, and Canyon Runners. Each category begins with an introductory feature article to help explain the differences and similarities between the various boat types. If you're new to boating, these articles are essential reading because they will help you identify the type of boat most suitable for your style of fishing.

Secondhand Fishing Boats 1990 - 2005 is a worthy addition to Jeff Webster's used boat magazine series. Even if you're not looking to buy a boat right now, this magazine deserves a place on your bookshelf simply because of the enormous amount of information and advice it contains on a whole range of subjects. As a reference source alone, this magazine is worth the purchase price.

Priced at $9.95, Secondhand Fishing Boats 1990 - 2005 is available now at newsagents and on the internet at www.jeffwebster.com.au.

Copies can also be ordered direct from the publisher by sending a cheque or money order for $10.95 (includes $1.00 postage) to Jeff Webster, PO Box 344, Labrador QLD 4215. For more information, telephone (07) 5594-0898, or email info(at)jeffwebster.com.au.
