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

[Michael Meltzer]

You should have a little room for a few more dollars off the Chrysler, look at is this way, get the boat, fall in love with sailing,
after a few years trade up, their no harm in that. Besides you would never believe how expensive and a pain-in-the-ass it is working
on a boat, you would hate sailing baying a fixerupper. and after a few years feel more conferrable putting some real money better
boat. Just do it and enjoy, sail it into the ground and we will still  be around in a few years. my advice at least.

> I suppose at this point i might travel to Chicago.. My trailer anyway could make it.. Don't know about my 88 Chev blazer w/200+K
Miles tho..

> My price range.. well lets put it this way, I am going to check out the recycled boats, but i
> am going to guess they are way out of my price range..
>
> I can get a 75' Chrysler 22 for $2500 to $3000 Has sails, inside and out totally refurbished, all chrome re-done, curtains,
cushions, top paint, all fiberglass and gelcoat repairs are really nice.. Woodwork is great..
> Owner is REALLY meticulous.. Really nice boat - But it will never have features of Rhodes, like a galley, or light swing keel
(need a winch to pull it up)
>
> The only Rhodes 22 i know of in connecticut or anywhere I can probably get for $1800
> it is year 76'.
> The more i read on and look at boats i realize it is really beat.  The sails are ripped, the motor mount has cracked the transom,
the molding inside is all off, wiring is all overthe place hap-hazardly. Wiring is not hidden at all, Holes just  drilled everywhere
with wires hanging out, All the wood inside doesn't quite line up with anything, Seat cushions and vberth are a mess.. all the
fittings are loose, The wood is cracked and often custom made (and poorly) You get the idea..  THe owner just did a half hazard job
at anything...
>
> Both Boats are NO trailer, No Motor (which is fine because i have both)
>
> The max I can spend is $4000
>
> Anyone have any ideas..?
>
> Considering that the Rhodes 22 sounds more and more rare, (especially for my price range) I am kind of leaning towards the
chrysler.

> Help appreciated
