[Rhodes22-list] dinghy

[Ron Singerman]

John,

I have had a 12'  portabote in the past that I would mount to the side of my 
motorhome.  I agree with you that they are a great product.  Storage on the 
Rhodes is the concern, even with their 8' model.  If you come up with a good 
storage idea let me know.

fair winds,
