[Rhodes22-list] Need tow vehicle recommendation

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Hi Rick,
I assume that's without the trailer? We always guessed that we were 
close to 4000 lbs with the trailer so I guess we weren't too far off 
- maybe guessed a little light. I forget what the weight is on the 
single axle Triad.

I do remember someone saying the older boats were lighter than the new ones.

Best,
Mary Lou
