Anybody have a somewhat broken rudder?
I have a (fully functioning) Sunfish, but I also just received a "Boost Surfing" fin, a motorized surfboard fin. [Boost Fin: Electric Motorized Fin for any Board ]
My (perhaps wild and crazy) plan is to replace the bottom 1/2 or 1/3 of a rudder with the boost surfing fin, and see how well it will push the Sunfish (hull only) around.
I figure I'll replace my (good) rudder and use my existing cheek/tiller for testing purposes....but I need a rudder shaped board to try the idea out with. I may end up using a piece of plywood cut to shape to try things out, but I figured if somebody here had a broken rudder (preferably a break near the bottom 1/3 to 1/2, but I could possibly also repair a lengthwise split....) they would be willing to sell/ship me cheap it would be easier than making my own from scratch.
So, if you have any cheap/broken rudders you are looking to get rid of, get in touch please! I'm looking to spend less than $50 with shipping, otherwise your rudder is too nice to tear into for this (again, possibly wild and crazy) project.
