replacement of my rudder O'Day 272 1987

[Bolduc Lou]

I am looking for a new rudder blade for my O'Day 272 1987. Did somebody can give me the address and E mail of a store where I can get a new one? I didn't receive any response from D & R Marine in Massachusetts! My "E mail" is bolducl@cscapitale.qc.ca.Thanks from Québec city.

Rudder supplier

Bolduc, Contact FOSS FOAM PRODUCTS in Florida. Their ph# is 352-529-1104, fax# 352-529-1106 or website @ www.newrudders.comThey advertise rudder replacement for many boat brands including the O'Days. I believe they were an OEM supplier to O'Day and/or still have molds for many discontinued models.By the way, I am seriously looking at O'Day 272 boats and I trying to get owner comments on them. Could you let me know your thoughts and review of your boat. Besides the normal sailing characteristics and liveability, I'm interested in trailerability of the boat behind a large pick-up truck. Info on best trailer from which to launch off of a boat ramp, etc. I'm in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and sail (sort of) on the Ohio River. Any realy good sailing will require trailering a boat to a large lake, preferably Lake Erie.Let me know your thoughts if you can.Thanks and good luck with the rudder! ;DMichael Findlan
