    Hey Erik...

    Don't I know you? I think we've traded E-Mails in the past.

    Did you ever get a skeg for the bottom of your boat?

    I did finally finish my boat. There are pictures of it all over this website.

    Best,

    MarkBano

    Howdy Mark! You bet I'm the same guy. Finally got around to installing the skeg last summer. Below is a pic of my nephew giving me a hand. What a differnece to the handling! Of course it took longer than expected as we had to modify the trailer to get rid of the center rollers. Is your dyne in the water yet this year, I won't get mine in the lake until early July unfortunately?

    Cheers, Erik.
