One word about the skeg...I see alot of folks installing their skegs & strakes at the beginning of their builds. It's actually easier to do it after fairing the bottom...well...I should say that it's easier to fair the bottom before adding the bottom hardware. Get the bottom faired, lay out where your skeg goes, sand that area back to glass, attach, and then just fair & blend in. That's the way it's done where I'm from. Just a different idea.
