I've seen a post that said that some wakeboard or ski boats have the rudder flush to the hull rather than recessed like most. I hit the rudder really hard and I can't find a repair shop that can repair it anytime soon. The fiberglass was pushed up and cracked all the way through. Shaping the recess in the hull is the only thing that makes this a difficult job, and I'm questioning how necessary it is. I have a hard time believing a 4" x 4" x 1/4" protrusion behind the strut will affect performance. I already have two large nuts about 2" x 1/2" on Tsunami 1200 pumps sticking through. I bought the boat new in 2001 and don't plan on selling it, so I'm not worried about resale value. Thoughts?
