rudder doesn't line up with keel
 

I just ran across a boat on the hard at a local yard and noticed
that the rudder doesn't quite line up with the keel.

Here's the pic

Does someone know what caused this and how it can be
corrected?

The boat is about 30 years old at least.

Bent rudder shaft would be my first guess. A simple fix.

Move the camera about a foot to the left and take another picture.

Is the name on the transom "Ghost"? Looks like it backed over something =
hard and bent the shaft.

I wonder how it happened. Other than that, the boat looks to
be in good shape. Do you think this is a result of a collision?
In reverse??
