I just go through flipping the pages and scanning about 39 back issues of "Small Boat Journal" starting with their first issue in 1979.
I was amazed at how many companies are still around. West System, Port-a-Boat, Condon's, Mad River, Honda Generators, Yanmar and many others.
The articles were very much the same. How to rig, rebuild outboard, fight rot.
Today's mags have more pages on electronics. About all my old magazine had were a vhf radio.
The had a hand held radar unit with no screen. It just emitted a tone when you pointed it at something. Very quaint.
At least I have a shelf I've cleared off. Now I just need to find someone to pass the old magazines down to.
I'll probably just list them on Craig s list, maybe someone else will enjoy them too.
