[Rhodes22-list] Stinkpotting - Inquiring minds, Hank's query

[KUHN, LELAND]

I'd like a windsurfer, jet ski, ski boat, power yacht and sailing yacht.
If I had all of those, I still suspect I'd get more use out of my
Rhodes.

Andrew,

As much as I love sailing, I've always thought it would be nice to have
a
small powerboat to do just what you are talking about.  Runaround with
the
kids and play with water toys.  Sounds like a lot of fun.
