How's this for a guess.
The former owner kept maintenance records. I read the history. Not long ago the owner had the transmission replaced. Shortly thereafter the engine ran dry of oil! Seems the mechanic rolled a gasket and the oil leaked out while under power. Insurance paid for the original mechanic to pull the engine and have it rebuilt. (rebuilt by the same guy that caused the problem!).
When she was out of the water for the survey I remember looking over the rudder pretty closely. If it had been out of wack significantly - I think I would have noticed. The rudder is exposed on these N33's. There is no skeg. I didn't notice any dings on the rudder or keel.
But I'll bet the mechanic that couldn't get the gaskets strait, couldn't get the alignment strait. Would that make sense?
