[Rhodes22-list] Exit Lines

[Richard F Sheehan]

Try finding a Pacific Seacraft Flicka 21.  It has great headroom, is a
blue water boat and I'd swap my R22 for one in a heartbeat.  I'd also get
Stan's motor raiser for the Flicka.  For a few years they made an
outboard motor model.  I wanted b
to buy one so badly that I wasted three years, and still the owner
wouldn't budge in his price.  He eventually sold it at a price I would
have paid.  I bought my Rhodes and I'm very satisfied with it, but if I
have a chance to buy a Flicka, I will.  This will allow me to sail to the
Dominican Republic.
