[Rhodes22-list] 1973 R22

[Robert Dilk]

I got a good deal on a 1974-75 Rhodes 22 and the big issue for me is how many improvements do I put in. The old boat is sure solid, but I think it is cheaper to move up to 1985 model, then to try to do all the upgrades.

Yes it helps and thanks for info.  Any word on the nature of these boats?  
Are they worth up grading and keeping or are there some real problem areas.  
At this point from what I see she looks like a stout little vessel.  I 
removed some of the partitions around the forward berth area (some kind of 
formica) and other verious plastic "wood grain" type trim panels.  Some nice 
wood trim will go in its place.  I will replace the water tank and associated 
plumbing.  The ballast turns out to be concrete and the lower hull is heavy 
fiberglass,.  Plus the boat is dry. My wife actually loves the Coleman 
kitchen/icebox set up and to my surprise kind of feel in love with the old 
girl,  "It reminds me of our VW  camper" I think I can cozy the boat up for 
weekend trips.  At last a perfect world
