Hey guys,
Was testing out at the pond today and unfortunately ran over a turtle just below the surface that ripped the turn fin off my Joe Moceri rigger. Now the fin is sitting on the bottom of the pond off of turn 1 with the screws and sponson inserts still attached to it.
The smart thing for me to have done was to make a template of it in case this ever happened but I guess I'm not that smart by not getting around to it soon enough. I don't think it's a custom made one off fin so I was hoping maybe someone would recognize it by the photo and where it possibly came from. Joe Moceri and Bob English think it may be one of Dick Tyndall's Virginia Craftsman fins. Not sure if Dick is even in the turn fin business anymore.
Rick Bellinger offered to make me one but unfortunately I have no measurements to provide to him to do so. All I could do is try to make an educated guess at the dimensions.
Ideally, does anyone maybe have one of these fins that they are willing to part with or know where I could get one?
Your help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marty
