I bought a '78 20' Schiada SS with a 200 HP Merc mounted on the transom. I am working through a renovation, put on a new powerhead, etc.... Anyhow, long story short, once I peeled the rotting flotation out from under the floorboards, I discovered my skeg was leaking. So, after a lot of work / grinding on the hard studs (I guess nobody had stainless in '78?), I finally got it out. I decided that i would try it without the skeg.
I'm looking for opinions. Does a 20' SS Schiada need a skeg? Does anyone have one with an outdrive; does it have a skeg?
I'm going to go try it at Casitas this weekend... just in-case anyone wants to come watch me spin out... hehe.
