Me being the ever-skeptic, I'm still not convinced that the JSD won't expose the rudder to damage in serious seas.

Granted, I've not found much evidence yet, but I have seen some recent rudder damage even at our lake on a boat that was stern-to-weather. And this was only 3-4' chop in 50 knot winds. Those bow-to-weather boats were fine.

Then watching the Falcon GT videos (in BFS) with the stern getting stern-smacked by a breaking sea, imagining that happening if the boat was slowed to 1 knot makes me wonder.

I'm gonna keep looking. I'm just not convinced yet.
