Mary Lou,
I spoke to soon. The boat that I had as a specimen is no longer available for 
photo opportunities. I believe it's at GB being repaired as we speak.
Also, something that came up recently. For all of us that tow our boats, be 
careful with your gas gauges and don't get to comfortable with them. A recent 
series of events has brought about the reality that a vehicle towing a 
Rhodes22 can run out of gas when the gas gauge shows a quarter of a tank of 
gas. Apparently the pickup tube is affected by the weight of the boat on the 
hitch. I had never thought about this, but it actually happened this weekend 
to someone towing with a Toyota 4Runner. He thought he was having mechanical 
problems and paid $130.00 to be towed to a service station only to find that 
a filling of the gas tank was all that was necessary.

Rummy....I will not divulge any names):):):) no, it wasn't me....I wouldn't 
own a rice grinder.
