[Rhodes22-list] Boat cover for Rhodes22

[cjlowe at sssnet.com]

I had a
Cover made for Country Rhodes six years ago at Kansas road tarp shop in

It was 575.00$,$75 more for a zippered flap by the swim ladder, for access
without disturbing the cover. Best investment I've made. Can cover it in
less than ten minutes, and no flapping in the wind.
