Ok, from the looks of it the trailing edge of the bottom of the skeg is slightly bent (in the photos it is bent to the right). Also it doesn't have the cleanest edge on it. The last owner had it standing on its skeg on a cement floor. My first question would be how would I straighten the skeg? lightly tap it with a hammer while holding the other side with a block of wood or something? My second question would be is it ok to use a file to sharpen up the edge? maybe some fine sandpaper then buff it? I want to make sure cleaning up the edge wouldn't be braking any rules because its being "modified" to some extent but then again I know it has been shaped.
Be easy on me and any advice would be great, thanks.
Silas.
