Is the rudder post glued to the rudder piece and freely rotates in the top and bottom stern section

or does the rudder piece pivot around a fixed rudder post?

The rudder operating shaft is a jam fit to the skeg sections and the bore of the rudder is a non-interference fit to the operating shaft. It takes only moments to install/remove the entire rudder assembly.

Nope, just the above waterline ones. I'll punch fake flood-drain holes in the bottom of the keel.

Jake,
a before and after shot of the hull would show the great deal of work that was accomplished. Well done.

Does Jake incorporate static grass/flock to replicate the "marine growth" on the hull?
