[Rhodes22-list] Removing motor for repair

[Fred Kaiser]

We have always removed the motor from Fretless before 
transporting.  While I think that the transom probably would support 
the weight we don't feel a need to take a chance and I have also 
found that we have an easier time getting the proper hitch weight 
with the 85lb plus motor in the vehicle instead of hanging off the stern.
