NO
The normal sporty looks like this:
The leading edge of the skeg on yours has been cut. Normally they are a straight edge, not curved like yours. I have not see that done before and it's not the Allison mod that Robbie does.

It could have been done with the intent to increase speed or improve handling. It could have been done if it hit something and the front of the skeg got messed up. I am thinking it may have been the later, but that's just a guess.

Thanks for the reply's good info
Probably about a 99% chance that is a repair for a damaged skeg.

I was thinking the same thing wanted some other opinions. I was told that that was the modification that was made for handling and i thought it didnt look right
I agree with all of the above.
