Does anybody know how heavy the stock wooden rudder was on 17 Montgomerys built in 1977?
I have a 74 - plain wooden rudder, painted, two pintles, no sliding rod gizmo. I can weight it if you want - I assume the rudder was pretty much the same from 74 to 77? cheers, John S. On 10/21/2015 11:27 AM, Thomas Buzzi wrote:

Beat up original solid mahogany rudder for M17 #215 (1976) weighs in at 23 lbs. That is wood only, no hardware. Close copy in Merranti ply is 24 lbs. with hardware. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Ruth Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 3:26 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Stock wooden rudder Weighed mine.
