[Rhodes22-list] update

[Stan Spitzer]

John,

Back from the Annapolis show wars.  As usual the Rhodes got lots of 
compliments, sales continue weak.  Half million dollar and up boats were 
selling like hot cakes.  Which gets me back to my political soap box.  I 
guess we just have to raise our prices to get to those buyers.  My 
daughter has not written anything since America's Bubble Economy  and 
Aftershock and I am trying to get her to now do America's Income Bubble.

The trailer repair company said they now have the parts in so we are 
hoping we may get to pick it up next week.  We have some show leads to 
follow up on and are also thinking of going to other shows.

One fun thing this year at Annapolis this time was the party the owners 
had at our space after show hours to celebrate the Rhodes (and I guess 
my) longevity.  A number of former Rhodes owners who have moved on to 
other boats, crashed the affair; they just could not stand not still 
being part of the clan.   Sorry you could not make it.  You would have 
enjoyed putting faces on all the Rhodies you have spoken to over the years.
