looks like an SK6 to me since the fins are wider on top or I'm totally wrong & you lose but you want me to be right. Right? J/K:D

Yes you are. Instead of counting just ask someone who has the SK6 how high it is then measure yours. Cause to me the SK6 looks taller then the SK6-ab.

Problem with pictures is you need something to measure it against as they look identicle apart from the size obviously.

ie: A dollar bill.

I'm looking at the box my SK-6 arrived in, the outside has (2) check boxes after the part number; "AB" and "CB". Mine is marked "CB" and appears to match the shape of the larger one shown above. So maybe the full part number is SK-6CB? I bought mine through www.plycon.com who advertized it as the top of the line.

The fins on mine measure 22m high from the top of the base (not including the base thickness) to the recessed pocket in the middle and 54mm x 54mm in that same pocket area between the fin "ears". Across the widest part of the fin ears, I measure 73mm. The tallest portion the fin ear measures 26mm above the top of the base. The fin gage measures 0.4mm. There are 36 fins per half, for a total of 72.

My guess is the fin gage and density (spacing & count) are the same for both versions with only a change in fin height as that would be the cheapest tooling change for the factory to create a new model. Good Luck!

Not, but if you plan to mount/unmount many times the HS, it's the way to go ;)

Good to know that's the right one, I just bought it from them with the YS fan. Hope it all works out good. Was it easy to install?
