Description
Book Synopsis: Unlike the antique car hobby, which blossomed shortly after WWII, nobody paid much attention to antique runabouts until the late 1970s. Back then, Boyd Mefferd was one of a handful of first-wave entrepreneurs who started to buy, sell, and restore classic boats. Soon wooden boat clubs were founded, and boating magazines and newsletters published to serve this rapidly expanding hobby. Over 32 years, Boyd wrote a number of informative and amusing articles for such publications. “Needs Work” compiles 54 of these pieces for the first time, with titles ranging from “Of Women, Men, Divorce and Boating!” to “No Engine Left Behind”.
