If you'd explored the site at all you would have found the order form

that you have to check a box to NOT get a skeg.

If anyone is interested, I wrote to NDK about whether the 16' Romany
automatically came with a skeg. Apparently, it does not. It apparently
must be specifically ordered with the boat.

The specific question I asked was:

----
Does the 16' Romany come with a skeg by default or must it be special
ordered?

Here's the brief reply I got back:

Dear Sir,
You need to order one.

I you were in the market to buy a new car and picked out a couple of models
you were interested in most would be available as a basic model with out any
options. However, if you visit a new car dealership most of the cars on the
lot are going to have at least some options included. While it may be
possible to buy a new car without a radio/cd player most dealership don't
have vehicles on the lot because most people want a radio/cd player in their
new car. As Brian said, Romany's are not much different. Most of them
you'd find at a dealer have a skeg because that is how they order them. If
you're ordering directly from the dealer you have more options as to how the
boat is layed up, the color scheme, or outfitted.
