[Rhodes22-list] 1973 R22

[Todd Tavares]

Hey F-nut!

      (I couldn't resist...sorry :-D)  What are the hull numbers?  There are many questions as to wether or not you have a Rhodes 22.  Floatation wasn't in most of the earlier boats under the v-berth.  But maybe it was added by a P.O.  I am interested to see pics.  

     If you want to be sure, the hull numbers will tell you.  The number should start with GBX#####73.  Or you could climb to the top of the mountain petition the Great Guru-u-u-u at General Boats.  But remember to spin the pole clock-wise and only ring the gong once.

P.S. sign your e-mails with a name or we will be forced to call you F-nut.
