:In the photo of your boat, is the right or left side of the picture the bow.

The bow is to the right.

: And I too would like to know how many inches the skeg hangs down at its
: deepest point.

Pasted from previous post above.
I made it straight with the bottom along the back, but I probably have 1/2 - 1" of clearance when it's sitting on the ground because of the rocker of the kayak. I didn't want it to be sitting on the fin if I'm sitting in the kayak when it's not in the water.
