That's a reference to a stand up routine that Bill Cosby had many moons ago about a conversation between God and Noah... Very funny

Seahouse,

I'd like to puchase a set from you if you have any available. I'm assuming they'll fit my :tat26: without a problem.

Thanks,
Robert

Hey Jay - They are made for the M rudders, I doubt these shims will work on an X, but I'm not familiar with them.

Hey Robert - I sent you an email.

Thanks -Brian. :wink:
