[Rhodes22-list] Carl Weinberger looking for a Rhodes 22

[Tootle]

Carl,

Welcome to the Rhodes 22 list.  

You have several members of this forum located in within a 1000 miles.

Availability of Rhodes 22 is limited, but occassionally happens.  Keep in
mind since the beining in the late 1960's only about 1000 have been built.  

Learn how to use the archives to find out about specific topics discussed
over the last several years.

If you find one for sale, send Stan at General Boats a few sheckels for his
opinion of the boat and seller.  Ask Lou why this is important.

Consider getting bank loan and buying recycled from Stan with trailer.  Then
go to Edenton, North Carolina and drag it back to the Pacific Northwest
yourself, mile by mile...  Ask Chris G for instructions on how to do that...

Again, Welcome!

Ed K
Greenville, SC, USA
