[Rhodes22-list] the Chris spreader shims affair

[Eric Smith]

Stan, Happy to hear you are kicking!  I purchased a “recycled” 
1995 Rhodes 22 from GB in 2004. In 2016, I sent her back from New Jersey to Edenton where she was fully renovated. Since then, I’ve retired and now live in Fort Pierce, Florida. Docking at my new slip, I bumped the pulpit on the dock. This obliterated the bow light which was screwed to a plate welded to the pulpit. I tried to call the number on the web. No dice. I emailed Edvin Chavez who replied that he no longer works there. He gave me Tino’s number. Tino is supposed to get back to me. Can you get me a new bow light or the name of the manufacturer and part number?

Thanks!  Eric Smith.

If your shim issue has been resolved keep these, should this rare disease strikes again.

Prospects for GB's next 60 years have further been boosted by the once sleepy 2 lane "Rt. 17 ocean highway" becoming new I-87, destined to put still sleepy Edenton, and GB's 9 industrial acres location, on the Map.
