[Rhodes22-list] Boat cover for Rhodes22

[cjlowe at sssnet.com]

I had a cover made about six years ago, best investment I've made. Takes
less than five minutes to cover, doesn't flap in the wind . I paid 50$
extra to get a zippered door over the swim ladder, for entry without
disturbing the cover. Total was$575. Probably $1000 today.






Sure.
