[Rhodes22-list] HR 27 picture of shell

[stan]

Dave,

I do not decide if a boat will sell.  I leave that to the market.  We are 
continually asked if we make the Rhodes 22 a little larger.   We have lost 
endless sales to those who found it a little too small - particularly from 
basketball players.

the boat is about 27 feet long and 8 and 1/2 feet wide (to be legally 
trailed) and we hope it will float in about 2 feet of water and don't know 
the weight.

Hayden's 27 trawler lists in the 70s and the Seaward 26, while starting in 
the 30s ends up in the 60s  so we have to be in this range.   Of course some 
day we will have recycled versions for half the price.

The compelling edge might have to come from our copy and promoting style.

Stan,

I'm curious, and I bet a lot of people on the list are curious, seeing
pictures of the R27 shell  will be great, but can you tell us why you think 
an R27
will sell?  What’s the compelling edge that will motivate people to  buy an
R27?  There are already many boats in the 25' to 30' boat  space.  I think 
at
least one of them has an IMF.

What are the specs on the boat?  Draft?  Beam?  Approximate  weight?

Very approximately, what do you expect it will sell for?

Dave
