It's really a matter of personal choice. It does make it eaiser to make left hand turns.
But the increased drag can lower the top speed a tad.
I am relatively new and added one myself. I love the way it runs and if there was a reduction in top speed it is not even noticable, though it may show up on a GPS.

get one. especially if running by yourself, and especially if you want to turn left.
I also advise a bigger right side fin if you aren't racing in a spec class...really helps stabilize the boat in turns.

Yes. General MO is yo turn too tight and the tail skips sideways and when it lands again it rolls. If it does a full barrel you are back on the prop and good to go. If not you are setting the Tx down and picking up the fishing pole. The fin reduces the tendency to skip like that. But only the fin on the inside of the turn. The other one isn't even in the water.
