Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hi Dave,
With the right prop, the fin is not needed. In my humble opinion, a fin is a band-aide for an incorrect prop on the motor, and is primarily used when a boat is under-powered. Your boat is maxed out, so a fin will only slow you down. When the boat is on plane and set up correctly, the cavitation plate should actually be OUT of the water, so the fin would be doing nothing for you...
I am running a Johnson 90hp that is up a few inches off the transom, and no fin is needed...grabs like a son of a gun with the right prop on it.
