The Propeller Handbook: The Complete Reference for Choosing, Installing, and Understanding Boat Propellers

There is a great deal of knowledge shared in this book. A great deal of knowledge to absorb. Well worth the time, money, and effort if you wish to get the most out of your boat.

Arrived in good time and condition, good book. Recommended, even for casual reading if you are in any way connected with boats.

I needed to re-prop and there is nobody in the country with the information I needed for my 15 meter full displacement boat. I learned enough from this book and some study of the contents to do a very satisfactory calculation for a new prop. Is it perfect ? I do not know, but it is certainly better then what I had ! Very informative as well.

This book is not user friendly, it's really for professionals. It's difficult to read, but if you have a bit of background knowledge, it will help you from interested reader into a professional. For calculating new props on a new boats, this guide will give you all the answers you ever needed and then some more. It's amazing to see how many props are not setup right, once you understand the dynamics.

These two books have made the practical application of naval architecture available to every one who is involved with the construction and maintanence of t.heir own vessel. Absolutely first class in every aspect.

Very detailed, requiring some math to comprehend. Needs to be taken slowly and thoroughly digested in places; but, such is the nature of the topic Mr. Gerr investigates. He has written other books about boats which are well worth reading.

Excellent book, highly useful. I really learned a lot and was super useful for me to deal with Propeller dealers, many of them only have a very basic knowledge and will just sell you any prop.

If you read the author description it says "He has worked on vessels ranging from . . . a 60-mph jet-drive runabout. . " which led me to believe the book covered some material about jet drive.... nope, nothing. As far as props go, it is a good book for that.
