[Rhodes22-list] Chris Crispel

[john Belanger]

i have to ask a question. why are you buying a boat here and taking it to panama? are you sailing it to panama, shipping it or driving down with it on a trailer?  i may have missed part of your explanation, somewhere. sorry, i just don't get it. are you going to be on the atlantic  or pacific side?

the hull)

thanks, you and others are helping me make a decision.
