He the problem, you are talking about a 28 year old boat here, Alot will =
depend on of the mantance of your freinds but as a general rule the =
people let the maintance go in a boat that age. little thing like a new =
motor(1500+-), newer trailer(1500-2000), new hardware(1000+-), newer =
sails(1000+-), general supplys(1000+-)and now the wild card is yard =
bills. because of the age it will not pay so you have to be ready to do =
it yourself, paint. wood work, glass work, electical. Now it takes time, =
and what happen quickly is that you find more and more wrong so you =
endup with a total rebuild, because you just spend a session working on =
the boat you might be real sick of sailing realfast and want to walk =
away from the project.=20
MJM
PS. I have some save version of this type of post at home, I see if I =
can dig them up tonight.

type stuff)=20
how much experience with boat work,
not much, but see above!=20
are you OK not sailing for a session or two,
Not sure what you mean by this... did you mean a 'season' or two... =
i.e. time to fix her up?=20
do you have 200-500 hours advable.
WHOA!!! For what?=20
are you ready to spend 6000+- on the boat.
They're asking only $2000 (friends), which is well within budget.=20
I not trying to be funny or talkyou out of it, thier a longer post =
comming depending how you reply. BTW what your buget range. MJM

Hello everyone...=20
I'm new to this list, as I am just now contemplating purchase of a =
boat... in particular , an oldie but goodie Rhodes continental 22', =
circa 1974-1976. Anybody out there who has one who can give me their =
opinion on the boat, what I should look for in/on it before purchase, =
and approx. value? I've seen it on trailer... though the inside of the =
cabin looks a bit tired and in need of refreshing, the boat itself and =
the riggins seem to be in fine shape.=20
I live on Cape Cod (Buzzards Bay side - more protected)... have =
sailed a Sunfish all of my life... and am just now entertaining getting =
into a 'real boat'. Not looking to race or do longdistance type =
stuff... just go out for the day and putter.=20
Thoughts?=20
Thanks!=20
