Thanks Bondo

Here is a picture of the ruder after my dad finished the profile. I think he did awesome for a first timer.

The rudder looks great. I lost mine. Seriously, I lost my rudder and have to make another.

That really sucks. specially now that i know the work that goes in a rudder. Today I finish fairing the ruder and is ready for build up primer. Any suggestion on which brand I should use?

I would check with ks8 or Cracker Larry. Most seem to go with a two part system. I went with a one part paint. I don't have much first-hand experience with finishing. The "paint" section of this forum will help.

I like the system 3 two part epoxy primer. I 'think' it is compatible with most finish systems, but if you want the 100% guarantee of compatibility, then get the primer recommended for your choice of topcoat finish system.

creating the centerboard profile. I used a router with two profile jigs. I have a 1/8" two finish with the belt sander. I came out great!

Here how it looks with the router jig.

Here is the rudder after laminating it with a biaxial 12 oz. layer in both side. After reading stories from you guys I decide to fiberglass it.
