91 Ski Brendella. 192 hours. Not a Nautique but dang sweet boat

[Franciz]

My neighbor has this 91 and it’s perfect, or was until today. He hit something in the water and trashed the prop. I just went to look and noticed the rudder was tilted or bent. Anyone think this is correct? Or is it bent as I think? Tia.
any parts available for these boats?

Yeah, prolly worth finding another boat just to confirm that's not by design. If it is bent, here's a few ideas...I'd call MB Sports and see if parts are still offered for the boat. https://mbsportsusa.com/ Skidim has generic rudder kits; one of them might work. Finally...before I spent any serious $, I'd drop the rudder and inspect it. It it's not damaged badly, a machine shop with a press might be able to straighten it.

Hope this helps get you going again....

99% sure that's not correct.

Is it the rudder that is bent or the strut bearing? I had a similar issue. I hit a log but I ruined the prop and the strut bearing. Good Luck
