    Skeg's on the Yamaha's

    Wouldn't putting skegs or sharpening the chines on the hull around the intake area give lift too ?

    Somebody did think of it before! Stan the rxp man He's been working on designs for a while now... just never quite hit on the combo....I bet he's tried 20 different styles.... He's always ahead of his time.

    All of the old Aftermarket companies used to make ride plates with fins or skegs on them. Mariner, Ocean pro, DG, triton, PJS. they stoped when the IJSBA outlawed them for racing because if someone got run over the protruding fin or skeg would shred the downed rider.
