[Rhodes22-list] Help before I settle for the Chrysler 22 !

[Bob Weber]

Ashley, In you price range I can't see a better deal than the Chrysler.  I 
would check the chainplates other important attachments like the Pintles, 
and motormount.  If these are poorly seated - rotten wood backing and/or 
cracked fiberglass you will only have pretty boat that is unusable.  There 
was a listing a few weeks back I copied for you.  Good luck, hopefully the 
Chrysler is as functional as pretty.

Hello,

I am putting my Rhodes 22 up for sale this week.  If anyone on this list is
interested, or knows someone who is looking for a Rhodes, please have them
contact me directly at steve.nobles at comcast.net.

It's a 1984 Rhodes with roller furling jib, mainsail furling, poptop 
enclosure,
1997 Nissan 8HP with inboard controls, trailer, and bimini, cockpit cushions 
and
all the other basic stuff like anchors,  fire ext. & bilge pump.

I've really enjoyed this boat but I just purchased another sailboat so the
Rhodes has to go.  The boat is located on Mobile Bay (Alabama).  The price 
is
$4,500 firm. I've can email pics.

Thanks,
Steve Nobles
