[Rhodes22-list] Capt. Curtis Leister

[ed kroposki]

Curtis:
	I have read yours and Jay's post.  You mentioned a boat for sale on
eBay, the "Hunter 23.5".  That boat and the Rhodes22 are like comparing a
Kia and a Volvo.  
	The Hunter is a water ballast sailboat; the R22 is a keel/center
boarder.  Do you have the sailing experience to understand the difference?
The low price that the Hunter 23.5 may go for just may be more than it is
worth.  Water ballast boats are very different boats.  If you just want to
get on the water cheaply  they may be acceptable if you understand and
appreciate their risks.  Keel boats are inherently more stable, that means
safer.  Is safety a factor in your considerations?

I'm in Pennsylvania 
as a kid I sailed Roosters and celebrity 20's on Narraganset
in my 20's a hobie 16 and windsurfing Barnegat
about to enter my Fifties
 and three young kids who won't get off the dam wave runners
 looking for a sailboat for Barnegat bay
tried a Hobie18 sx last year only I could handle it
 that's a great boat but sold it 
a 100 foot dock with 3 jet skis is a waste
thought  a R22 might work
but if you don't want me on this 
there's a Hunter 23.5 on E-Bay right now that i can look at in person before
auction is over sunday
thank you Burt on L.I for your response (too far)
thank you. Fred in Colchester (too old)
thank you Bud 4 the heads up at Samalot Marine (interesting but I need a
trailer)
who did I forget? oh jay who had breakfast with us and got my wife on board
I' ve got a green light now. (thanks Jay)
If this Hunter doesn't pan out I'll follow the program to N.C.
