[Rhodes22-list] roller style trailer

[Michael D. Weisner]

Hi Gary,

You really need a float-on trailer for the Rhodes 22.

Where are you located?  I have an old Triad ('81) that is only good for 
short trips, non-highway usage (rolls fine, just getting very rusty and I do 
not trust it on a long trip.)

BTW, how do you plan to recover the boat?  It is real tough to winch it back 
to the truck (I know, I've done it.)
