[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 429970, member: 9884"] Sonny, floatation pods are simply sealed aluminum pods which are completely empty on the inside. Since they're sealed, there's no need to add floatation. They're primary function is positive floatation to offset excess weight in the rear of the boat. Float pods also act somewhat like trim tabs, but only if installed correctly. Another advantage I've heard of, but haven't experienced myself, is that it allows you to run your engine higher. The pods function similar to a tunnel hull, which allows you to raise the engine slightly if you have a jack plate. [/QUOTE]
