[QUOTE="surfman, post: 436196, member: 7404"] Pods will definitely help raise the back of the boat some and prevent it from sinking further when weight is shifted to the rear, like when you stand at the rear to fish. Basically the amount of floatation pods, or any device that is used for floatation is equal to the amount of water they displace. If the pod displaces say, 1 gallon of water then they provide 8.33 pounds of offset buoyancy. The amount of buoyancy that is advertised however assumes total submersion and that is usually not the case, or at least it shouldn't be or else you really do need them. [/QUOTE]
