[Rhodes22-list] big problem

[Todd Tavares]

Michael,

     I am going to run the boat by a marina Saturday and let a guy look at it and give me a price to fix the hole and strip and repaint.  More than likely, I will leave the boat (hopefully I do not forget to bring the rudder blade and centerboard).  I have all of the necessary tools, supplies and equipment...just don't have the time; nor will the weather ever cooperate. 

Todd
