Matt,
So what course of action would you recommend since: the origonal EPO's are no longer availible, the plastic rudder blades are un-acceptable because of performance issues, and class rules effectively outlaw the use of "EPOV2's on H17's, TheMightyHobie18's and Waves in your opinion ..... but are OK for use on H16'???

The question wasn't directed to me but the answer is simple. Send a request for a rule change to the HCA Chair. Make sure you have the support of your class first. If it's on the up and up (fairly simple in this case) the Chair will forward your request to the IHCA rules committee who will deal with your request.
The Hobie 20 guys did it a few years ago and can now choose between the stock Hobie 20 rudder and an EPO 2.
