[Rhodes22-list] Restoring a 1975 Rhodes 22 by Luis

[Todd Tavares]

To Bob,

    I think you are confusing Luis with Hank.  Hank posted the link to the yahoo picture site. But I may be wrong

To Luis,

    Relax, you may already have the compression post.  You should be able to get a goose neck from http://www.dwyermast.com/.  I can provide you with a paper templet of a 1975 vintage rudder head if you want to make your own.  Actually the rudder head design changed sometime between 1974 and 1976, but I have both to trace for you.   But I'd need a mailing address.  If interested, e-mail me off list.  I have plenty of interior pics to share.  If you need to see anything specific, let me know.  Can't send tonight..kids need the computer for homework.

> The Rhodes 22 is still made by General Boats in Edenton, NC.  He

> shipping is always a problem.  Of course, you can always go to the plant.
> Waving cash in your hand gets immediate attention.
> There are sources for information on how to do things without asking

> Also see the document library at this site.
> Another site of interest is:  http://www.geocities.com/blew_skies/
> The history of the boat is at:

> Particulars about the boat as it is made today are at:

> Other on this list will answer specific questions.  It is always appreciated
> if you do some research on your question beforehand.  There are many good

> We took it out of the water (It was floating) and had the bottom pressured

> 
> Now, we need some advice. We are handy, but we have never worked on a boat.
> 
> We will be posting some pictures and asking lots of questions.
> 
> Right now we are looking for a used centerboard, traveler assembly, and the
> goose-neck?? that attaches the pop-up top to the mast.
> 
> We will try to fix the rudder, but would prefer to get an used one.

> Does anybody out there has any of these parts?
