You can adjust your front sponsons to allow the boat to turn well without a turn fin, but you must turn at low speed. SAW without a fin is harder to drive than oval trials, but turn fins slow you down considerably. You will be faster if you learn to drive without one. No matter how small you make it, not having it is faster. Learn to drive without one. Also, If you think you need the fin to go straight, you are also thinking how much can I slow this puppy down so I can drive it. A saw boat set up properly will track perfectly straight without a fin and with a very little rudder.
