[QUOTE="dearl, post: 428672, member: 1760"] "A few guys" on the front deck of a 1648? Your right, you don't need pods, you need a bigger boat. You can only manipulate the hulls ability to naturally displace water by doing a few things, and 1 is add additional ballast, that's what Pods do. [b]BUT[/b] with that there is a limit also. I hear a lot of guys saying they hear it pushes the nose down :LOL2: Wrong. I Have installed many pods, and owned 2 boats that had them, I wouldn't own another boat without them. I've modified many boats that guys used to bow fish, the smallest Hull I ever put a platform on was 60". I guess what I'm saying is maybe the hull you have is not the best Hull for what your trying to do with it, and The instability that your feeling when walking towards the gunnels is a negative effect of it.
