[Rhodes22-list] Re: Rhodes wanabes and List Lurkers

[RUSSELL MILLER]

Don't usually comment but thought it might be prudent at this time since
there seems to be a plethora of project builders out there.  Stan ie. GBI
does an exemplary job when "re-cycling"  the boat looks like a new one, no
matter what he started with,  they are so good that to the un-initiated eye,
he could have said it is new and you may or probably would have been a
believer.  Trust him, he may be able to do the "right stuff" cheaper thsan
you.  Just want you, the project boat buyer/builder, to know we bought first
a re-cycle then liked it so much we mover on to a new one and now are the
proud owners of a Seaward 26RK all through GBI.  In fact our Seaward is
currently in Edenton for some refitting and wintering right now.  We knoe
trust and really admire these guys, so go with the provrn path, at least
carefully evaluate your chioeces.
