Strip: Outer Island users: Skeg or no?

While waiting for warmer weather to start the actual building of an Outer Island I have completed as much preliminary work as I can. Now, with time and nervous energy on my hands, I am wondering if I should make an adjustable skeg for the Outer Island. If I were to need one I would much prefer an adjustable, built in, skeg to a fixed add on skeg. Seems like now would be the time to install one if I need it.
Those of you who have paddled the Outer Island - would you recommend a skeg?
