[Rhodes22-list] New member looking for a Rhodes 22 (Thistime inPlain Text... Sorry)

[JbTek]

I bought mine from seeing pictures, no regrets.
I think the hull shape & floatation are the best features for a rookie &
they are pretty much there already, the rest you can update.
 That's why I chose a Rhodes 22.
