[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 Questions

[KenBates]

Hi Ron
Welcome
I can tell you a Jeep Grand Cherokee with an 8 does just fine from toledo to
kalamazoo. I had a hard time keeping her down to 55 (recommended) I havent
tried mountains with it .
We do daysailing on a shallow lake in Portage Mi where the Rhodes is
perfect.
someday want to do the big water south haven to frankfort
