    Tom Miller at Fiberglass Products and Boat Repair can get you a fin. The new ones are fiberglass.

    Call Tom at 260 337 5636.

    e-mail sent.

    I don't think you can get the single large fins anymore. The fins that came with my boat were the "inboard" style double small fins. You might need to get one fabricated by a machine shop

    The boat Tom built last summer has the big fiberglass fin. I assume it is still available.

    The fins that Tom Miller will sell you are the one piece fiberglass ones (so he told me when I bought one for my '74 Dyne a few months back but I haven't opened the box yet).

    My '06 17.6 Dyna-Ski came from the factory with the one piece fin also.

    Supposedly the fiberglass fins are stronger and less expensive than the aluninum ones.

    Hope this helps.
