[Rhodes22-list] auxilliary motor

[foredeckguy]

Bruce,
  An interesting proposal. I'm game. Somewhere along I70 in Ohio I suppose.
Please contact me off list at gary_lockhart33 at yahoo.com so we can set up
details. I don't see any need to bring a tank to demonstrate 
the motor. And the extras are a definite plus. The photos did not make it to
the list.
