I never felt I needed a skeg in my OI. It is lower volume and does not catch that much wind. I am 210#s and carry day gear. They track well ...Don't even consider a fixed skeg.. If anything I would want a little more rocker.
If you have a larger rear hatch you could always add one later. If you fit out the cockpit so you can edge it with ease you will be all set. Mine is long gone but I do miss it.
