Is it the original rudder or an upgraded version?

It's the original version. We just upgraded to the larger one by Foss in CA.
Fun fact: ALL Ericson rudders are Foss rudders. They're the ones who built them while in production, and they're still building rudders today.

I appreciate the offer but getting it from Vancouver would be expensive and the general consensus on here is that every E35 should upgrade the rudder.
I went to Vancouver once for just a day and it is a place I would love to get back to if I were still healthy. Maybe one day.

Yes, the rudder will only make sense to someone local in dire need of a rudder for a 35-2. Or a 33 (I think). It may end up in someone's pile at Shelter Island. Better than throwing it away I suppose.
If anyone is interested in modifying an old 70's style rudder someone posted this image years ago and was part of the inspiration for me to modify an extra E27 I had lying around. The other inspiration was a series on rebuilding a rudder at the Boatworks Today YouTube channel. ;-)
