I've got a 3.5 a friend gave me. It had been sitting on his dock, unsailed, for 10 years. So, it was pretty weathered. I'm in the process now of trying to repair the rudders. They are wood and have split, lengthwise. I contacted a local dealer, Backyard Boats in Woodbridge, VA. The guy I talked to was not familiar with the 3.5, said he'd never heard of it. But he said the rudders for the 14, 16, and 18 are all the same, just different hardware. But they are $250 per pair. Not sure I want to pay that much since the boat was free.
