I am in the process of modifying a 17' long, 8' beam relatively flat bottom (5 degrees at the transom) power boat by adding a cabin. I know this will increase windage considerably. Question is: Should I be adding a small skeg to help allievate any increase in leeway in a wind?
Any thoughts would be appreciated as to yes or no or to the size and depth of the skeg. This is a planing boat but I am not worried about high speed.
Thanks in advance.
