Weekly letter from RennieA weekly letter for boat owners who buy used: how to read a repainted hull, name the leak yourself, and grease the trailer bearing before the road does.
Coin tap, soft spots, wet wood — what a repainted hull hides.
Find where water gets in before it reaches your ankles, then fix it.
Trailer bearings, tie-downs and tire checks you run before pulling out.
No smoke: the full guide, the exact steps, the fix — every week.
Read the full issue →Fresh paint smiles at you. A coin does not. Walk the hull in a few minutes, hear the difference between solid and soft, and know what the seller already knows before you sign.
You're not paying for 'content' (that's everywhere and half-wrong). You're paying for the tested way, the exact steps, every week — and for a real answer when you get stuck.

“I used to trust fresh paint. Now I tap the hull, feel for the soft spots, and walk away from the ones that smile too much. Bought my skiff once, with my own money, and I have not gone back since.”

“The hull check saved me from a wet transom, and the same habit works on the trailer. I grease the bearings before the highway, and the shop bill I used to just pay is now a job I do myself.”

Testimonials are illustrative composites, not quotes from named individuals. Results vary with your effort.
No contract, no calls, no spam. Your first issue lands this week. If it's not for you, you leave and lose nothing.
That's the best time. The hull and trailer checks are meant for the seller's driveway, not for after you have hauled somebody else's problem home.
No. Plain words, hand tools you already own, and a coin. Every fix is written for a man working on his own boat in his own driveway.
Bits of it, scattered and half-wrong. Here it's tested, start to finish, with the exact steps — and a fresh one every week.
No. Plain steps, big print, one a week. Nothing fancy, the way it's always been done.
