[Rhodes22-list] A couple of questions (centerboard)

[Mary Lou Troy]

The answer is yes, you can pull the cb with the boat on the trailer (unless 
you have an extra special R22 like ours - it's a long story and I think we 
have the only one). You do have to remove sections of the floor and pieces 
of the interior to get to it. There are several postings in the archives as 
well as in the FAQ.

We were able to paint the bottom on the trailer using a combination of 
jacks and blocking to raise it up off the trailer one side at a time.
