[Rhodes22-list] Steve Scott more on Used Rhodes

[Tootle]

Steve:

     
          You replied to Rex, fine and good.  But you have not stated what
you are really looking for and how big is your wallet.

           There are two kinds of Rhodes 22's.  There are the older Rhodes
Continentals, like the one on eBay: 
http://www.rhodes22.org/pipermail/rhodes22-list/2007-October/044783.html  As
I pointed out in an earlier post, the motor on that boat is worth the
current bid.  As the picture shows this boat floats and is said be
immediately sailable.  Important information.

	Then there are the IMF boats.  These were the invention of Commodore
Spitzer in the mid 1980’s.  It is not economical to retrofit earlier boats
with an IMF mast.  So if you want IMF you have to go early 1980’s and up. 
The two boats are sailed very different.  This is a very important fact.
