[Rhodes22-list] Lou's CB trunk almost done

[Lou Rosenberg]

  Richard,
  Thats cool!
  I just remember taking out a fibre glass open boat with my dad's old 
(circa 57) Johnson 10, and that thing would move ok with the current 
but when we were fighting wind and current with no keel and just 2 
aboard, it would slow down considerably.   Granted, it was an old 
engine but it never quit on us, just the usual sheer pin meets log 
adventures.
I will take your advice and only go as high as 8.
Thanks and I will be calling you when ready to rig sometime in early spring!
  Lou
