| Post subject: | making pods for my boat |
i just got a 1436 jon boat and am building an 8 hp longtail motor for it. i have been looking up pods and the benifits of them online and think i want to put some on my boat. my dad owns a weld/machine shop and i'm a tig welder so the building of them is no problem. I just want to know what yall think about them and will it be a good idea to put some on there? will it really make a big difference in the performance on my setup? if so, how big or small should they be for that size boat and motor? |

No need with that setup. They really dont help overall performance, albeit they help the boat float higher in the ass end when not under way. |

I dont know much about the size it should be or anything but keep a record of materials, price, and labor hours. I may hire you to build me a set if you want. I know they make a set you can buy already made for the war eagle boats I believe. Google it and they might give u and idea where to start. |

If you really want them you need to build them as big a possible without interfering with motor travel. You can google boyd welding or beavertail pods |

I would put them on if you had an 18hp or bigger motor weighing down your ass end. Pods I think would hurt your performance with that setup. How much you weigh? |

No need for pods with an 8 hp.. My 1436 only drafts 3.7 inches, and that is with a 16 LT |

Look into hunt deck instead of pods. Search longtail with hunt deck. |

Unless you or your lab is sitting on the transom, it is completely unnecessary. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 |
