Theres a 36 Skater in the classifieds with #6s and rudder can some one please enlighten me on the subject, unless redundent steering is the new rage.

The drives don't move and the rudder steers it.

What is they advantage to this set up?

Ptufaro

Easy gear change (swap upper). The ability to adjust hight and rotation depending on conditions.
(mostly needed for race applications)

The Bacardi Silver is rigged that way too. If you watch the YouTube video with Matt Lauer, you can see the #6's with skegs missing. I'm betting that the props run a lot cleaner at those speeds without the disturbance of the skeg right in front of it, and the skegs probably aren't adequate for directional stability anyway.
