Rudder shoe source

[Bill]

Fred Pomeranz just contacted us after a long absence.  He is the fabricator who used the original design to create a mold for the AC rudder shoe.  (To see one, check the Rudder Shoe thread in the Technical forum.)  

Fred reports, “Now that I'm retired I would like to explore this market again.  Presently I have one shoe ready to ship.  The last lot included one I sent to Chance Smith in N.C. in 2011.  At that time, they priced out at $325.  I'll check with the foundry for current pricing this week.”

Anyone interested in a rudder shoe should contact Fred at frecarzoee (at) gmail (dot) com.  His cell is 253 549 5089.  

I can report that he does really great work – In fact, I have one of his rudder shoes waiting to be installed when our old one finally falls apart from electrolysis corrosion.

Thanks for the info, Bill.  I may be interested in purchasing one for future use.
