[QUOTE="River Rider, post: 129905, member: 2087"] Well I got the pods welded on my boat this past weekend. It was not to pretty, but with some stiching up the gaps here and there I got them secure and for the most part water tight. I have not gotten to totally test them but I launched it in a buddies tank and gave it a running. First off they worked perfectly. The gave me the lift I needed, and I for sure can plane out in a hurry. I do have to get use to turning it. Being a flat bottom when I turn I can skip side ways a bit, but only if I am not paying attention to my speed. I am waiting for this weekend to give it a good running in a lake to see how well they really work, and after a day on the water if they do eventually catch water. I have the metal for the floor but, I have not measured out eerything to begin cutting yet so hopefully I can get that done this week. Then I guess I will have to start with the painting. For now though I can fish when I want, and run shallower in the river. Here are some shots taken this morning to post for you. I will get some better ones later this week. [/QUOTE]
