[Rhodes22-list] things to look for in a 1973 Rhodes 22

[Peter Thorn]

Mike,

Suggest you don't even waste time looking at it.  Buy a boat built by Stan,
not built by subcontractors Stan hired during the "old days".  Boats Stan
builds himself with his W2 workers are far better.  I owned an 84 (project
boat with serious CB problems) and also now own an 88 built in Edenton by
Stan.  The quality difference is vast and too much to describe.  Stan's
production is like a fine wine that gets better with age and experience.

I may be checking out a 1973 Rhodes 22 that is for sale near me.  While I
think we want a newer boat than that it will at least be instructive to see
how a 1973 has held up.  What sort of potential problem areas should I pay
particular attention to?
