In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: skeg question (bill stupak)

: Will two skegs of the same overall size (square inches) but different
: dimensions perform the same? Will a 3" x 12" skeg perform the
: same as a 1 1/2" x 24 one?
: Bill

If this is for an existing boat, I'd just try it (sorta) duct tape a piece of the right dimmensions to the bottom of the boat and see how it performs, then try the other size.
