[Rhodes22-list] Boom Room Sources

[Todd Tavares]

You have absolutely no idea of the ridiculous conversations which have been posted here on the list about General Boats, Stan, and why he is entitled to royalities on everything being sold, made, shared, etc. here which has anything to do with a Rhodes 22. Search the archives looking for certificate of support. 

 Believe me when I say this, because I was once the biggest complainer. He sells boats and not parts, so you are better off making it yourself or adapting an off-the-shelf part to work. If He does take the time (away from his boatbuilding) to rummage around the yard to send a part to you; having not bought your boat from; consider yourself lucky and respond graciously. (or at least stop complaining)

 John S used the correct word too. "homage". Too too funny

 I have a 1983 model. Was this one subcontracted out? I wouldnt mind paying the fee. He should be professional enough to reply and ask for the money though. I fear the end of the Rhodes will come if he doesnt offer support to older boat owners....sad.
