    Donald, I have a cut rudder if you want it. It's off my Sanger. I cut it to 10" and even with the bottom when I (incorrectly) thought I had too much tail lift and the opposite was actually happening. It is chromed but in good shape.

He needs a trailing rudder. Leading edge of my rudder is 11". Trailing edge is 8". Cut even with the bottom of the boat, and installed parallel to the transom.

    Yep it's a wedge, Donald will want a trailing edge rudder to help bring that nose down in the turns. Sorry, I didn't remember what boat he was working on. Eraser had Schiada96 make him a totally bitchen SS trailing edge rudder. I'll go measure it as it seems to be working very well.

    You will need a "trailing edge" rudder 11" long at the front, 10 1/2" at the rear set at 1 or 2 degrees back. That should give you a good all around set up
