[Rhodes22-list] FW: Old boat space ideas

[Mary Lou Troy]

Caesar,
If you don't find it, keep looking for something similar. We found 
ours 5 - 10 years ago. Who knows if that particular model is still 
made or stocked. We kept a notebook with all the measurements for 
things like the undersink area and would just look wherever we were.

Happy hunting,
Mary Lou
