In this modern age, the choices facing the fisherman are numerous. Technology has revolutionized the structure of vessels, the type and range of equipment they can carry, the engines that power them and the effect that advances in electronics have had on wheelhouse technology is staggering. In a highly competitive and, currently, very difficult business, it is essential that the fisherman makes the correct choices when it comes to purchasing and equipping a vessel, re-fitting and/or upgrading his present boat and buying new gear. This is a practical guide for practical fishermen. In this third edition a revised chapter thoroughly reviews the rapidly changing world of electronics and an up-dated section carefully examines safety and safety equipment. New hull designs are covered in full and, throughout, emphasis placed on the practical application of design and construction to produce a reliable fishing boat.
