[QUOTE="poorthang, post: 488627, member: 31585"] folks been fishing shallow water for centuries without pods. i dont get it, is it a new trend? it will gain you a few pounds of flotation? but adds more weight to the rear which negates part of the reason to install? just some thoughts. not being critica at this point, but being born in and spending most my life in louisiana, its just something we never thought of, and you know, if it was needed, it would have been thought of on boats that spend their life floating as opposed to sitting on a trailer. im thinking the mud boat trend may have started this. hanging a very heavy low powered engine, that reaches out like a fallen oil derrick, off the transom. that was probably making the boats take on water over the transoms and made pods a necessity to overcome poor designs. ????
