I had to replace my rudder this year on my Tartan 3700. In my case, it was cheaper to replace rather than repair/rebuild the existing one as the cost of hauling and storing the boat while the work was being done cost more. Having said that I'm wondering if I should offer up the old rudder for someone planning the same project. This would allow the individual time to rebuild the rudder for a quick re and re. This would reduce the time and cost. What do you think?

Shipping costs aren't that bad actually. So I guess it comes down to whether or not there is a Tartan 3700 owner out there with a rudder that needs to be replaced and whether or not my partner would let me store it. Unfortunatel it takes a small army to move the thing. What I found when I did my project was how long the boat would have had to be out of the water for a rebuild to be done. Thanks for the responses
