[Rhodes22-list] Lou's new yacht

[ed kroposki]

Lou,

     You have not told us about the motor.  Does the motor work?  How about
the battery?  Does it have a VHF (radio)?  Cockpit cushions?  Pop top cover?
Since you have a couple of days before you move, fill in the details.

 

     Does the tiller need refinishing?  How about the bright work?

  Bob,

    The lights seem new and will be tested. Thanks for the info about 

the brakes but my trailer registration says a wt of 2550 which even 

seems inflated.

    Its an old TRITON trailer with wood supports padded on the side of 

the hull and a good slot for the keel to sit in.

   I am about to send an email to Stan requesting prices on the upgrade 

to IMF and a new 175%genoa.

   thanks for the info on your boat as a comparison.

  peace

  Lou
