Default Skeg Removal

Beside the obvious reduction in drag, what are the +/- about removing some of the lower unit skeg ??

more speed less control, look at the old race footage alot of the #3 boats that cut the skeg all the way off. since those were considered the days of real men racing, then one must assume that control is for wussies and speed is for real men

"Real Men Don't Need No Skegs" Well yeah, but that quick, unexpected "180" at speed with family and friends aboard will give you a clue of why the factory put them on there. And it was not just to save props for idiots that don't know how much water they are running in. --- Jer
