On Mad Mariner's MadCast today, Contributing Editor Diane Byrne interviewed Lenny Rudow, a boating writer who has reviewed and tested more than 700 boats for Mad Mariner and other publications. During the interview, Rudow offered a bevy of hints on boat testing, including what type of weather to look for; how to make your own waves when nature does not cooperate; how to tally performance statistics, including speed, fuel economy and noise; and where to poke your head to see what manufacturers are up to. The interview lasted 30 minutes. We hope you enjoy it. To read more about Rudow's approach to boat tests, read Boat Test Basics and Myths About Boat Buying.
