[Rhodes22-list] A suggestion re: '84

[Russell Miller]

Just a thought.  Since your bosat needs considerable work & parts maybe you
could interest Stan at GBI in doing a "custom" recycle for you.  It would
cost you more but you would have the satisfaction of bring your boat forward
several years and having the "master" do it.
