[Rhodes22-list] Some simple dimensions, please:

Hey  Joe, Congrats on the new old boat.

We have the registration numbers on the bow on 
the flared part of the hull. They are readable 
there. The name is on the aft part of the hull 
where it is flatter (below the Rhodes 22 emblem.) 
We used 4 or 5" letters. Generally, you want a 
name to be readable from a distance. If I was 
doing it again I would have the letters spaced 
out a little bit more for greater readability.

Which suburban Phila. police department? I spent 
12 years in Upper Dublin Township (Montgomery 
County) - library not police though we were in the same building.

Best,
Mary Lou
1991 R22 Fretless
Rock Hall, MD
