[Rhodes22-list] Shopping for an R-22 -under $15k.

[Michael D. Weisner]

Brad,

You mean you "Up-sized" to a larger craft.  I am not sure that it has 
necessarily been an upgrade.  Of course, instead of a "sweet" boat, many of 
us refer to our R22 as a "sweat" boat (or project for some of us.)  Still, 
it is the best boat in the category.  Come to think of it, the category is 
really "R22" not "pocket cruiser" or "trailer-sailor."
