Get a Boat of Your Own 
This Year 
and insure a season crowded full of pleasure. 
No one, not a boat owner, has any adequate conception of what possibilities the possession 
of a motor boat opens up to the skipper and his family, for the solid enjoyment of each hour 
of holidays and vacation. 
The right kind of a boat brings within your reach pleasant day trips and cruises, cool 
summer evenings afloat and holidays in pleasant places, that you couldn’t hope to obtain by 
any other means. 
And boat owning isn’t expensive either in first cost or upkeep, if you go about it rightly. 
THE BOAT BUYER helps you to choose your boat wisely—tells what kind of an engine 
you require for different types of hull and what you will need in the way of equipment. 
It shows plans, too — the best kind of plans — of all sorts of power boats, which will aid you 
in selecting your boat for 1912. 
THE BOAT BUYER is edited and published for the man who owns a boat or who wants 
one and wants to know what kind of a craft to get, from whom and where; what kind of an 
engine is best for each size and type of boat and what kind of an outfit each type needs. 
To no one else is it of interest. 
The man who buys Boat, Engine or Equipment without first consulting THE BOAT 
BUYER stands to lose money. 
Send 15 cents for the Big Spring Number, or 50 cents for one year. 
Fill out following blank and mail it to-day. 
B Enclosed find 50c. Send me the Boat Buyer for i year, commencing with
