Tom,
	Welcome to the Rhodes 22 list.  There are a bunch of R22's on Lake
Hartwell.  
	I use my boat mostly for Day Sailing and charge the battery with an
extension cord and battery charger.  There is power at the dock.
	I pull start my motor, so do not need battery for that.  I do not
know how old you are, but if you are as old as ...., you might want an
electric start with the needed battery.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Dockside power and marine charger

I have contracted to purchase a recycled Rhodes 22 with delivery in August
2005.  The boat will have the "Ultimte Power Package" with solar battery
charger.  The boat will primarily be used on a freshwater lake (Murray in
Columbia, SC).  Would appreciate opinion as to whether either or both shore
power and marine charger options to be advisable (cost of $450 each). 

    Also would appreciate opinions as to other owner's experiences regarding
bottom paint for fresh water use, i.e. type paint, brands, frequency of
repainting, etc.
