By Fuzzy spare parts, do you mean with mildew?

  Keith,

  I don't think the documentation you are asking about exists except in =
the mind of Stan Spitzer.  God bless Stan, if something happens to him =
or he decides to finally retire, we are all going to be in deep do-do!  =
GBI's policy of continuous improvement means the equipment & =
specifications of the Rhodes 22 have evolved greatly over the years.  =
So, a detailed spec from my 1976 Rhodes 22 would differ significantly =
from your 1988 model.  Fortunately, the Rhodes 22 is not a very =
complicated boat & common sense goes long way.  For the moment, Stan =
Spitzer & GBI are a tremendous resource, & I would utilize them as much =
as possible.

  I realize this doesn't solve your problem, but poor documentation & =
"fuzzy" spare parts supply is the reality of the situation.
