[Rhodes22-list] Hull numbers

Quick history of my boat
It was entirely rebuilt by my cousins in ohio
They lake sailed it around the midwest
They decided to stop sailing and devote their time to their farm
They asked me if I wanted the Rhodes and I said yes
It turns out I was mistaken as my wife corrected me and said the Bristol 27 
in my backyard was enough boat for me
I in turn asked dear friends of mine who I knew were in the market for a 
boat if they wanted the Rhodes
They did and I now share it with them
So my cousins delivered it here to Bay Shore NY from OH and my friends and I 
ended up with a free R 22 complete with trailer
We love it
Dave
Bay Shore NY
PS if anybody wants a Bristol 27 please let me know
