Guys I ran one of these back in the day (92ish) for several years, duck hunting tidal marsh over here. The skeg worked great in heavy vegetation, but when we got into hard sand bottom it worked better without the skeg. I had 2 over a few years. One was a 1542 w/ 40 tiller, the other was a 1648 w/ 40 tiller. Back then we were running a progressive pitch prop with a LOT of cup. If it was a mud bottom it would run through spit. Mine were set up where the prop shaft was even or slightly above the bottom of the boat. An awesome performing, well made product.
