    Rudder depth on small boat

    Im posting this separate now hoping to get an answer or better yet, an educated guess.

    I am building a BBY Micro Patriot. I have a surface drive already installed. I am looking to mount my rudder- which will be on center so it steers equally to both sides.

    I would like the boat to be fast but still turn well.

    The hull is only 12.5" long. I was thinking 7/8" ~ 1" worth of rudder below the keel line?

    Anyone?
