[Public-List] New or Used Rudder

[Glenn via Public-List]

Brad,  any other damage to the rudder besides the lower pin area?  Do you still have the shoe in place?

Seems like you could have a new lower shaft and pin machined from round stock and reglass the bottom of the rudder together.  On my boat the FG skin is less than 1/4" thick- the rest is foam core.  Which you could grind down and lay up new more cheaply than building a whole new rudder.
