[Rhodes22-list] Compression Repair and Addition of Compression Post

[chetc]

Thanks for sharing this info. My brother and I own a 1986 Rhodes, and we have
been contemplating a modification to our cabin and possibly moving the
compression post forward. I'm not so sure now. We are thinking of cutting
the bulkhead out at the forward end of the galley, moving the compression
post forward, and creating a more accessible head area like Stan does on the
newer boats. I have emailed Stan several times to ask his opinion of this,
but he has yet to respond.

Anybody done this?
