    It could be the angle of the photo, but if not, it looks thin to me too. The paint I would not worry about.

    Paint and minor dings wouldn't worry me; you won't find a perfect skeg anywhere around here, too many rocks.
    As I posted earlier; the angle toward the prop doesn't look right. Maybe it was welded up.

    What I can't understand is why someone would sell a boat with the motor looking like that?? At the very minimum the seller should of painted the skeg--Might of costed maybe $10.00 for a can of matching paint?? What else did the seller not care about??

    Not familiar with Evinrudes but the skeg on the current motor on my boat was much worse when I purchased it, my tech went thru everything I have been running it for 5 years now, but I am anal about my skeg and boat care so it never looks like that if it is a deal go for it after you are your tech checks it out a little further if you are leary.

    I'd be more suspicious if it WAS painted and had that profile, wondering what they were hiding with paint. Least you can have a good look at that material.

    Can't tell from the pic. I would just go see in person if I was really interested. Odd that the paint is missing up high near the foot.
