There have been several projects where pods have been added to an existing boat to increase it's capacity or improve it's performance. I remembered seeing a model that Polar Kraft came out with 4 or 5 years ago that appears to have pods built into the original hull. I always kinda wondered why. Has any one seen one of these? Seem to have a decent floor plan. It's a Dakota 1578wt, and is rated for 30 hp.
