 Re: Pods on surface drive rig
They will help if your boat won't float the motor. We have them on one of our rigs...If we would have been on this site prior to putting them on, we probably would have gone another route.

 Re: Pods on surface drive rig
Pods equal poor performance for a surface drive

 Re: Pods on surface drive rig
Giga is right his rig turns good we run the same only difference is I have an 1860 with the hunt deck the added flotation in mine really helps any sort of squat that you may see also load carrying ability is increased as GigaFowl stated.
Heavy boat = not great but very capable in mud but handles the rough water I see 90% of the time like a champ! You should buy a boat or get it modified for the conditions you see most if not all the time.
But I agree that pods are just not a great idea
