I would love Steel, price on new ones is pretty steep would use a Bronze as well, not a fast boat just a cruiser. Thanks

I was just about to order material to make a new one out of stainless (17-4). I'm copying the one I have which is what you just described. I can make two if you're interested or you can buy my bronze one if you want. Like Mitch said, what are you looking to spend? Just to let you know the material alone for a new stainless one is $260.

I really didnt have a solid number in my head, was fishing to see if there was anything out ther, eventually I want to put in more power so a quality part now will save me down the road, what would you need to make an additional one and or what do you want for your Bronze rudder, it's going in my Spectra 20.

I'm not sure on both, let me think about it. I just finished my rudder shaft log so if you need it, I'll throw it in with the bronze rudder also. I'll clean up the rudder tonight and take some pics for you.

Must be nice to have a aerospace machine shop at your disposal to make cool stuff for the boat. :cry2:
This thing should nice when you get it done.

Yeah, I was torn between that and this. People seem to think that the one I chose was better suited. I don't why.

I have a used steel cruiser rudder from Barber Welding that I replaced with stainless , had it magged last year and put it in a box . If your interested fine, Westernaero makes nice stuff a new Barber cruiser rudder in stainless is a grand .

There you go. Better than the bronze one I have and I'm sure it's less than having me make one for you.
