  That's the one. Bill's was next to his for a while, then in the water
for a while, now at Eagle Mountain Lake.

I'll tell you a little secret... He's about to head off to Iraq again
for two years. I'm willing to bet he'd work something out if you want to
share expenses and use his while he's gone. If nothing else, I'm sure
he'd take you out on the lake. As far as I know, his is still in the
water, though he was talking about pulling it before he leaves.

You can reach him at bill at parsonsys.net

herb,
just between you and me and the lampost, i don't own a boat at this
time but if the rhodes you are talking about at scotts landing is red
striped and up on the hill in the storage yard then you'll be happy to
know that i spoke with the owner yesterday. he told me there were 2
others at the marina, maybe only one now, since your brother moved his.
i'm on here because i'm trying to learn more about the boat. the guy is
having some problems with his motior mount, outboard. and general
upkeep. figured i'd get some info and maybe catch a ride or two. the
boats engineering is very different from most others and many others
have come and gone since the early days. john b

jhnblngr,

Do you have a Rhodes 22? Is it on Lake Grapevine? I keep my O'Day 25 at
Scotts Landing. I'm on here because my older brother bought a Rhodes 22
(on the cheap, a landlord's lien at the marina, but he's since moved it
to Eagle Mountain Lake), and he's too lazy to keep up with the mail
list.

Besides, there are some folks on here that are just plain fun to poke
at from time to time.

The only other Rhodes I've seen on the lake (besides my brother's) is
one that's been in dry storage for a long time at Scott's Landing.

possibly the only unrealistic aspect of the story is the low interest
rate.
did someone say something about the exception proving the rule. ;-)

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the 
loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks

and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need 
some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys
to 
a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the
bank, 
she has the title and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept

the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its 
officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000
Rolls 
as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then 
proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank's under ground garage and 
parks it there.

Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the
interest, 
which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy

to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very 
nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we found that

you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to

borrow $5,000?"

The blonde replies....""Where else in New York City can I park my car 
for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I
return?"
