[Rhodes22-list] Keel/ Diamond Board

[Mary Lou Troy]

I don't think it's true that Stan recycles "only the diamond 
board  models". I know that all new boats have the diamond board but 
I'm pretty sure that some of the 1980s boats he recycles have a 
conventional board. Several different manufacturers built Rhodes 22s 
for General Boats before Stan decided to bring production in-house 
and start building them himself. I think that has more to do with the 
cut-off date than anything else. Somewhere in my notes from this list 
it says that Stan doesn't buy back boats older than 1983. That could 
be a note from 10 years ago so it might have changed.

Most of the extensive rebuilds we read about on this list seem to be 
boats from the 1970s.
