I may do just that, thanks Jeff. The fin can from Boyce is $60 + $12 shipping - while I'm sure it's a great fin can, the Maxi-Brute kit simply isn't worth that much upgrade cost.

Here's your thread:

I like the idea of a TTW core, yet keeping the kit's skins. The hardest part will be getting the correct bevel on the stringers for a tight fit with the skins. Dowels would be too large for these fins (1/4"), so I'll probably use basswood strips, which will be easier to bevel.
