Worthless. *I took the one that was installed on my son't 26' pontoon
('70 Johnson two stroke) and the performance was much better.


When I swapped out the lower leg on my Alpha 1, I didn't re-install
the fin. and honestly i can't tell that it made a difference in the
steering, but the boat seems to plane easier.


How come you don't answer your damn phone? :)
