I doubt the exact shape and design of the skeg is critical as long as it extends below the prop, maybe cut some patterns out of cardboard and "eyeball it" until it looks correct, maybe a 3/8" or 1/2" aluminum plate and weld it on, then file and shape the leading and trailing edges until it's just right, prime and paint...sounds like a fun project for the winter. Good Luck!
