[Rhodes22-list] Vent Fan, Anchor Locker, Cabin Trip, Bimini Frame

[Chris Geankoplis]

Hey David,
	I've replaced the vinyl pieces on a couple of Rhodes.  It is easy to
recover them (I prefer white, it makes the whole focs'le brighter).  If you
paint them put a couple of coats of varnish on them especially the edges
then sand and paint.  On my other Rhodes the original finish for the sides
of the focs'le was Masonite, pegboard.  Sort of utilitarian.  I replaced
them with selected 1/4 Luan plywood with a nice grain and color and
varnished them, it sort of dressed up the focs'le.

Thanks for the info.

I am not sure what I am going to do, but I am not going to cut another hole
anywhere.

I did take the black vinyl covered trim pieces out of the cabin due to water
damage.  I had the hull deck joint caulked and should have not more
problems.  The trim is Luon covered in vinyl.  I think I will just cut new
Luon and paint it black instead.  Thoughts?

In doing this I pull the wooden trim from the front of the anchor locker and
realized it is a nice pan.  Wondering what use this could be, storage from
the inside?  You need the pan to catch water, so use seems limited.

I am also purchasing a bimini and can vouch for Stan being on line and
responding to emails.  Anyone have any idea if the tubing would fit into a
Honda Pilot?  Otherwise I'll strap it on top.......
