Just curious, Is anybody using the Rudder Craft High Performance Kick Up Rudder on an M-17 ?

Not an inexpensive modification. Any thoughts?

I bought a Rudder Craft (Ruddercraft?) after wrecking the original slide-up rudder. It is well-made, but to my engineering spider sense appears to concentrate a lot of stress around the cheek plates. Very comfortable to use and plenty of control authority. In shallow water you can let the blade trail in the halfway-down position, where it takes only a few inches of water, much less than the keel.
