[Rhodes22-list] Please tell me about your boat

[Saroj Gilbert]

ok.. but you'll have to be specific... there are a lot of "testimonials" 
that ARE from real people... real Rhodes22 owners.
I'm not talking about the General Boats site, I'm talking about the "owners" 
site... you've read everything there? then ask whatever specific questions 
you still have...

Two of us have answered you personally... me and Rummy... and you're 
welcome!
