[QUOTE="Specknreds, post: 127235, member: 801"] Welcome to Tin boats!!! I just read your thread on Louisiana Sportsman too. My pods haven't affected the steering any. It might have helped on high speed turning. Your pods need to be sized to your boat. There is a formula to figure the bouyancy. I posted it on here and I couldn't find it. Every cubic foot of air equals (I think! you need to find out the right formula) ~60lbs. You might loss 1 or 2 MPH top end (like this is going to be a problem with a 225 :shock: ) but should jump on plane even better. [/QUOTE]
