Good Old Boat

The founders picked their tagline well. This magazine truly is for those of us who own, upgrade and maintain boats. Loads of information and tips to help you with chores you have to deal with, and ideas on how to add neat features you'd never have thought of until you saw them here. Even the letters to the editors are content-rich. In addition to 'projects' the magazine includes a fair share of seamanship and techniques articles, and instruction on boat design & trade-offs. It is all very informative, useful, readable and relevant. There is a lot of content that applies equally well to power boaters.

This magazine is fairly expensive on a per issue basis when you compare it with the competition, but the quality of the content makes it a BEST VALUE. I currently subscribe to 5 sailing mags, and if I have to cut any Good Old Boat will be the last to go. Unlike all the other magazines, I save all the issues and am in the process of acquiring the back issues on CD for future reference.

Good old boat is the real stuff. If you're interested in maintaining or fixing up an old boat (it's mostly sailboats), or if you're interested in seeing how people do these projects, this is the ONLY magazine written for most of us, who just can't write a check to a boatyard for everything we do. You may enjoy looking at the other magazines for the boat you'll probably never own, but in Good Old Boat you'll see the boats that the majority of us actually have. A lot of classic plastic boats, with some reviews and some design articles.

Edited and written by boaters for boaters, I have gotten Good Old Boat since it first came out, and it's only gotten better over time. Most subscribers read it cover to cover, even if they aren't doing a big project!

I have subscribed to all the magazines over the years, but this is the only one I continue to get.

We have read Good Old Boat magazine for years and find it a wealth of information for DIY boat projects. I enjoy the fact that the editors mix up the topics from diesel and gas engines, electronics and navigational equipment, boat design, anchoring, sewing projects and even recipes. My husband and I enjoy being "hands on" with our boat chores. You provide a great resource for me to glean great ideas to make our vessel a unique and comfortable little yacht. The advertisers you see in Good Old Boat are companies I spend my boat dollars with. Glad they are there to keep us all afloat.

You say that your magazine is the boat magazine for the rest of us. Well, thanks for your informative and easy to understand journal. We look forward to each new copy. We will see ya out there.

Good Old Boat is the only magazine that gives us average sailors what we need and want to know. We're not rich and will never go to some tropical,island unless we're on a cruise boat. Just help us keep our old boat running and fill us in on places we can actually afford to go,to. I've had about every boating magazine and this is the best without filling up with advertising .

Great magazine I was a little concerned about getting the magazine as I had never heard of it nor seen it in a book store before. The articles are first rate and are written in a manor for both beginners and old salts. I would highly recommend this magazine.
