FL (Central/Tampa) - RudderCraft hydraulic rudder, Can I look at yours? [SOLVED]

Paceship.org · Nov 19, 2025, 02:32 PM

Considering one of these and would love to see one in person if possible. Please let me know if I can look at yours. Hopefully near Tampa FL but I'm willing to drive to you a few hours.

Thanks,
Andy

If for whatever reason you swing up through the western part of Virginia, I have one on Panda Paws, located in Lynchburg VA, and you'd be very welcome to check it out. Sadly I won't be trailering down your way for some time yet. Also happy to answer questions/take pics when helpful.

Crossing fingers for someone closer to you!

Thanks for responding. Luckily I heard from some relatively close and got to see it today! I may reach out for some additional info.
