[Rhodes22-list] Seaward 26RK relationship

[William P. Barry, III]

Joe- Your'e about a week too late! We just pulled our Seaward from the water 
last weekend. We have owned 2 Rhodes22 boats and now the Seaward 26.

Our first rhodes was a recycled 94- Can't go wrong with a recycle- As good 
as a new boat with a new boat garantee!


Our second was an '01- after the trade in from the '94- We loved BOTH of our 
Rhodes and never had any complaints. They were very trailerable within an 
hour and half from start til launch.

The seaward is also trailerable, although unlike the Rhodse would not 
attempt to do a day sail after trailering. I figure theres entirely too much 
to write about to do a comparison of the two, but feel free to post some 
specific questions and i'd be more than happy to answer them. If by phone is 
easier than i could also arrange that if it'd help you out with your 
decision making.

Thanks,
    Will Barry

Joseph:

Welcome.  At least three owners of Seaward 26’s also reside on this list.
Put Seaward question in the subject line to get their attention.  And, give
them a few days to respond.

At General Boats, Elton is the big Kahuna on the Seaward.  When you call
make sure you leave your phone number for Elton.  One never knows for sure
what part of the country Elton is in.  Give him time to get back to you.  In
the meantime, use this link to learn more:

                  It has been said over the years that the best time to call
General Boats is late in the day, say now and 6 PM.

Again, welcome.
