[Rhodes22-list] Peter's Questions

[Steve]

I myself, miss the fact that in the good old days,
manufactors, gave boat of different size & makup
individual names.  Like the Continental.  I guess this
was due to mass production or maybe that maker started
building a bigger boat ever 2 feet longer but that the
boat inself remain basicly the same.  I miss all the
names.
