New sailor, here...............
About to purchase this 250 and the boat does not have a kick up rudder. Wasn't the boat manufactured with a kick up rudder or is it even necessary? Many of these boats have kick up rudders. We don't plan to beach the boat but in shallow enough water other than cleaning bottom from sand bar locations.
