    coastrati'd have to change out the kegerator cooling system and co2 lines, not to mention my custom made bikinni snaggers...


    coastrat it's like having a good and faithful wife who works hard and loves me but i'm turned on by the disfunctional neighbor/former stripper....


    all that was just... simply.... worth repeating..... beautiful... true & beautiful. icon_cool

    Quoteyou can easily change to another style/brand such as Hobie because there is great access to the inner hull at the stern.

    I do not think this would an easy change.
    Darts have an angled transom, and very specific rudder profiles, i doubt any other rudder would work well on this skeg boat, or at least not without a ton of custom modifications


    This aint Rocket Surgery - Its a damn BOAT!! None of the modifications are even close to hard to do. Maybe I feel this way because I fabricate stuff everyday but I think you guys are making mountains out of molehills.

    I'm changing a big boats rudder system from under hung to transom hung cassette, just so the boat will go into shallow water. It would be real easy to put it back stock but what fun is that?? Whipping up a very adjustable system for a beach cat would take a good weekend, a couple of stolen street signs and a cutting board from wal-mart

    QuoteThis aint Rocket Surgery -

    Correct, it is hydro-dynamics, and drag Surgery

    The mounting is not the hard part.. .the hard part is getting the shape of the rudder to work as well or better than the stock configuration - which is proven to work extremely well. If you are talking about re-using the rudders and fabrication a different casting system.... that is not what i was referring to. I was talking about the rudders

    As i said, if you are a fabricator, and trying different rudder systems is how you like to spend your down time... have a blast. Personally, i would rater purchase a back up (stock) rudder so i can sail more vs. trying to re-invent the wheel

    By the time you spend time AND money on this boat you could buy Tami's Square (or any number of other boats for sale for that matter) and be sailing, and at that, faster....
