You could have bought a used boat with no guarantees. You could have bought a new boat with a new boat guarantee. Now you can buy a recycled Rhodes with a brand new boat guarantee. But neither are guaranteed recycled Rhodes, pristine new Rhodes. IF you want your boat to look like a spanking new Rhodes, you have to buy a new Rhodes.
Cosmetics are secondary.
Who Should Go Recycled IF, you are dreaming of getting larger and larger boats, until you own one big enough to take that dream cruise around the world or, IF at the other end of the rainbow, you are still trying to decide if sailing is really going to be your placebo, then buying a recycled Rhodes makes the best of your dollars and sense. Or, IF sailing is just one of your leisure activities and you do not want to dedicate all of your discretionary dollars towards boating, and you are not paranoid about the tolls of time and sun, look into the wide range of Rhodes you can get at recycled prices. Can t lose. Same win-win refundable deposit terms. You can order your boat built to your colors and specifications at the times of the year when you can get the best pricing rather than waiting until you go for your sail and then first placing your order.
