@CHECK Re: [Rhodes22-list] boom room

[Bob Keller]

I am interested in exploring the boom room, but the last time I asked about 
it (several years) it was pretty expensive and not readily available.  
Looking at an alternative designed by Rummy himself, but before deciding 
would like to know the latest with Boom Room design, availability and 
pricing.  Will be moving the Yankee Clipper from the comfortable confines of 
my own dock on Lake Hartwell to a marina in the Savannah area next spring, 
so I am planning ahead.
Thanks.
