[Rhodes22-list] Roger's reply on motor issues

[Kroposki]

Jay,
	I can appreciate the need for additional horsepower bucking
ocean winds and current.  Since I do not have the additional hp I watch
the tide charts with extreme attention not to buck the currents.  And I
do not sail in the open ocean (at least not yet).  The big bays, sounds,
etc. are more than big enough for me.  The ICW demonstrates the tidal
currents very well.
	Take some pictures Sunday.
                           Ed K

By the way, I neglected to mention that Rob's '99 vintage trolley has 
rails, not rollers. I am not sure what Stan's current version, '04, is 
rollers or rails. The rails are much more secure, but ease of raising 
and lowering is sacrificed.
