Whats the word on the "beach" about these rudders? I am lookin at the web site and it looks good, but yet to have a price on them for a Prindle 16. Any Pros and Cons?

Looks like http://www.dotan.com/
My guess is they cost as much as my boat did, but sure look slick.

I have never seen the system in actual conditions but these rudders do not have a good track record with beach cats. they look cool but i have never heard a good story with this system on beach cats.
