[Rhodes22-list] Bunk spacing on a boat lift

[Todd Tavares]

Barry,

These are the original sketches I made over 20 years ago of a Triad trailer
made to fit the Rhodes 22.
These, along with pictures already posted of another boat lift should give
you a good idea how to modify your lift to approximate the trailer bunks
and bunk spacing to accommodate your Rhodes.

I hope this will hepl.
