Re: doel fins
While I don't use doel fin brand, I have an almost identical set of fins on my 16' BR w/ outboard. Mine are made by Golden Eye and are sold at K-Mart. I put the fins on this boat when I first bought it and never thought much about them. Last summer, while skiing, a steel cable ski harness (don't get me started on that story) got tangled around the prop and cut one of teh fins off. I removed the remaining one and finished the day. On the way home, I stopped and bought a new set. Lesson: my boat handles 200% better with them. As for the Mercruiser, I just picked up a set for my 19' w/ mercruiser drive.
