[Rhodes22-list] Elle's Motor Issues - ask Captain Crawford

[L. Sailor]

Toots:

Surely he had an engine....;^) 

I am not panicking...I am frustrated....I want my
boat. There is great sailing weather up here right
now....

I have just spoken to Edson about the kit,(THANK you ,
Michael) and to the guy who has the boat. He is an
engine rigger, knows his stuff, knew about the kits,
has already spoken to Edson abpout what he wants to
put on for me, and is trying to make things as easy
and elegant for me as he can. This is the first R-22
he has done.

Now, Ed, you cannot say over & over to go onto the
list & get info ( archives)  or real-time and in the
next breath say don't listen to the info that comes
back.

I am learning quite a lot about engines that I never
knew existed. Give some of us credit for being able to
separate what will work from what won't.

 You mean that you are not going to take the
> motor if it is not hooked up to your fancy? 

No, I meant if I cannot get a MOTOR on it, I will not
be able to keep the boat. I am not you, with your
wealth of experience and self-confidence.    When
someone truly wants to learn, belittling and being
smart-ass doesn't help and, in fact, diminishes what
might be some helpful advice. Surely you are so
accomplished that you don't need to put others down to
make yourself stand out......

So I'm grateful for your advice, but keep it positive.
there is no room for negativity in my life.

By-eeee.
