Hello folks,

I am wondering if any of you are in/near Northern VT (we are 20 minuts north
of Burlington).  I have a Rhodes 22 Continental (1977) that I am considering
buying.  However, I have some experience with liking a boat on paper and
then not liking it very much "in person".  The boat I am looking at is about
8 hours away in Western NY.  I am loking for a situation where my family can
come around and look over the boat.  A 1970's vintage boat is ideal since
that is what we are looking at, but really any Rhodes 22 would be good.

Some other questions...We will be trailering our boat all season, and so I
am wondering how many of you who do the same have gotten your rigging time
down to less than an hour.  Please specify if you have the IMF though
because the boat I am looking at does not have IMF.

I thnk that the quality of the boat and the thought process that has gone
into it is excellent, but I cannot deny that if the rigging of the boat is
too big an obstacle then we will probably not get out very often (we = me,
my wife and 4 kids).

Thank you all in advance!
Eric Larson
