G'day,
Sounds fine. Thanks. Be interesting to see what he writes.
The beam mounted rudders on my El work a treat. Takes a few seconds
to lift and lower them each shunt, but this is only necessary if you
are looking for top performance. I see no reason why they won't work
on the camper version as well. The smaller boats will always be
tiller steered. I prefer tillers to wheels until the boats get big
enough to make the loads too large. Less to go wrong, more direct
feel.
regards,
Rob
