[Rhodes22-list] HELP! How about a debate on.. WAS: A GREAT Email List

[L. Sailor]

Hadz,

It is a R-22...but it is only one of about three in
the country with wheel rather than tiller steering...

I'd like to go with a 9.8/9.9 HP engine;

I will attempt to attach a picture to show you. Other
than wheel steering, it is a standard, regular (!)
R-22.
