[Rhodes22-list] Looking for a Rhodes 22

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Mark,
We've towed for years with the Astro's cousin, the Chev. Blazer. As 
long as we get the boat far enough forward on the trailer so that 
there is sufficient tongue weight, it's worked fine for the flatland 
towing we do. It seems to me that someone else had an Astro at one 
time and liked it for towing their R22.
