If you're not having a problem I'd leave it alone. As basskisser says maybe
you're getting a little more steering torque or instability. I ran one
missing about half for a year, didn't notice any difference.
To answer your questions,
1. no, not really (unless you are a racer)
2. It adds stability and to a degree may protect your prop.
3. Sounds like about $180-200 too much.
4. If you want to spend $90 to let your friends believe you have a complete
skeg, yes.

What does THAT mean???

For all of you who responded, thank you. I ordered a Skeg Guard from
www.overtons.com for $90. It is stainless steel and will cover the
entire skeg.

Once it's on, I'm hoping my friends will all dive in behind our Carver
and open their eyes under water. Once there I hope to make all them
believe I "have a complete skeg..." Sheesh...
