    i need help findin a big ole rudder

    a rudder with about a 6" rudder with about a 7" standoff. I need something big for the apache build and i am having trouble finding anything. it has to have a water pickup. a double pickup would be a plus.

    does anybody know if this is made with a longer bracket?

        I can see why it needs a big rudder & I agree. From what I have learned from guys in the know is that the rudder is best even with the prop or just past. Too much standoff can cause handeling issues. Now I can't be 100% sure in this case. I have yet to attempt a hull this size. I would get some more input before investing in an expensive piece of WH you me have to just cut down .

            You may need a custom setup made here. Look up lonewolf for a unit...Hey maybe even twins. Look @ my Rio thread. That would look sweet on the back of tha big mono!!!
