I am new to the hobby going to be building a ezvee from zippkits and was had one question on rudder placement

I have looked at a lot of pics of deep vee boats to get ideas and it seems 90% of them the rudder is offset to the right side of the boat. Is this because when you are racing these things it turns better. I always figured that the rudder would be located behind the propeller.

what are the advatages to this set up verses dual rudders or one directly behind propeller

The rudder is mounted on the right for making right hand turns . It allows the rudder to dig deeper in the water when making only right hand turns allowing more control and response when racing on a course . If you are just using the boat as recreational pleasure I would use a twin rudder system or a rudder mounted inline with the prop . this will allow you to make left and right turns . I prefer a single rudder inline with the prop over the twin rudder . Hope this helps you out .

Thank you for the information. With the rudder to the side i figured that would help you turn better in corners but was not sure.

which is better or preferred dual rudder system or single not mouted to the side
