I'll try to describe the problem. The boat and rudders were manufactured in '76. The rudders have seen a lot of rocks. The forward bottom corners are gone. I have epoxied several times to build back the corners, but I am loosing ground. There is no longer a corner, it is a round bull nose. One rudder is split at the bottom forward corner with an 1/8" gap extending 6" up the forward edge.
I suppose anything is repairable with time, patience and skill. Repairing these rudders will require lots of epoxy and filler material (I don't even know what should be used for filler).
If I do not find replacements, I may attempt to rebuild them this coming winter. New ones are simply out of the question due to the expense.

Like I said, these things are bullet proof except against rocks, There are gazillion of used one around.
