Does anyone have a 330 Dancer out of the water who could take a look at your rudders for me when they are set on center?

I've had different opinions from people who I consider very knowledgeable about boats.

Regarding rudder alignment on a 330 Dancer. Do you think they should be (when measured between the edges) :

A. narrower at the bow edge and wider in the stern edge?
B. wider at the bow edge and narrower at the stern edge?

I spoke to Sea Ray and the one person I spoke to said "B" but he didn't seem knowledgeable about and but spoke to someone else at the factory. I'm not convinced something got lost in translation, probably on my side.

I would imagine there is only one correct way considering how water flows of the back of a Deep V hull. I know it doesn't flow straight off the back at Cruise

Thanks, Joe
