Salt Lake City-based iboats.com has launched a free monthly boating e-publication, the iboats.com Review, which is being e-mailed to 116,000 subscribers who had previously received the iboats.com monthly Transom e-newsletter.

The first edition of iboats.com Review contains 99 pages and can be seen at http://www.iboats.com/iboats_review/.

“Several years ago we started an e-newsletter to the boating public,” said iboats.com chairman and CEO Bruno Vassel III in a statement. “It grew and gained popularity as people shared it with their boating friends. Over time, we also received many good suggestions on how to make that newsletter better.

“We have changed its name to the iboats.com Review, and dramatically changed its format by using state-of-the-art digital publication technology built specifically for the Internet,” said Vassel.

Bill Prince, publisher of ClassicYachtMag.com, is the new editor and design director, and Ed McKnew, publisher of The PowerBoat Guide, is chief contributor.

The iboats.com Review offers monthly features including new and used boat tests and reviews, boating destinations, boating news, how-to articles for do-it-yourselfers, nautical humor, ask-the-expert tips, boat buying and selling tips, and other sections such as new product introductions, photo contests and the sharing of favorite seafood recipes.

Boatbuilders, and parts and accessories manufacturers, are encouraged to submit new product information.
