I particularly appreciated the excellent information on how to set-up each type of hull (Vee hulls, catamarans, and hydros/outriggers). Essential if you want to build a model boat and enjoy it without struggling with many handling problems. Also a good source if you want to optimize or modify your "Ready-To-Run" powerboat model to get more speed.
Thanks to this book I started with the easyest type of hull, and after 6 months of joy I am builing a tunnel hull. Without the book I probably would have abandoned the hobby, frustrated with a boat flipping over at every turn, or taking off on the straights.

starts out telling about one type of boat, in the middle of details, goes to another type, hard to understand about the type of boat. save your money, buy something esle.

if you are looking for the best info on r/c boating this is the only book that explains what you need to know. finch has two more books that remove all the mysteries of setting up your model boat.you cant go wrong with any of finches books.
