    Brand new, exactly as described. Mint condition. Reasonably priced. Very fast postage. Good communication. Packaging could have been a bit bulkier and better padded to prevent damage in transit, but thankfully there was no damage to the item though, so all good. Would definitely buy from again! Recommended seller.

  • Light on motor boat material.

    Brilliant book for sailing boats; not so much for motor boats. Will be useful, but didn't have the things in it that I expected it to.
