Chrysler Pirateer

Hello!
As of Friday I am an owner of a 1979 Chrysler Pirateer. I still claim massive ignorance with small boats, but am learning. When I purchased the boat, I knew she would take a little bit of work. My only major problem at this point is it looks like she came equipped with a Buccaneer Rudder, and not the original. I highly doubt they have the same dimensions :? So, I am wondering if anyone out there has another Pirateer and could assist me in the correct dimensions of the rudder so I can make one in accordance to those and/or if anyone knows where I could pick one up at?
I did take her on a shake down run for giggles, and it was a pretty wild ride....Can't wait to do this right!

The boat came with the original rigging instructions-and I have been all over whatever chrysler info I could find....I just can't get the nitty gritty dimensions.
I'm also curious to know about experiences people have had with this particular model of boat. Comments, opinions, suggestions are all VERY welcome.
Thanks
