[Rhodes22-list] Reply to Herb about Rhodes 22 for sale.

[Herb Parsons]

Brad, I believe last time, that talk was $500 per member of the "syndicate". I'm up for that. Previous emails indicated that someone had been in touch with the PO, and they're willing to be flexible on pickup date. With that in mind, I could probably drive your vehicle up there in a month or two.

However, I won't be able to watch the bidding on the boat, and it ends in 12 hours (it's 7:45 central time right now).

Someone will have to watch the bidding and pull the trigger.

We'll also need a few more people in the syndicate to make it feasible, and they'll need to hurry.

Wally indicated an interest. With you and me, that makes three. Any others out there?

Herb,

I can take the lead on the buying and administration. What I can't do is
lend many man hours to the actual restoration.  We could store the boat on
our lot until we find a permanent repair facility and a final home.  Has
anyone crunched the numbers to see what the final cost would be?  It doesn't
sound that bad. If some angel in the NY area would step forward that would
be ideal.

Brad
