[QUOTE="richg99, post: 452667, member: 4376"] I am also considering adding pods to my 1756 Lowe, in the Fall. From my reading, the main negatives mentioned were... #1. an inability to raise the bow to counter larger waves i.e. the pods stop the bow of the boat from rising easily, even with adjustment to tilt and trim. Raising the bow can be beneficial in heavier seas. #2. Very poor steering ability when backing down/reversing. My interest is in making my tinny go shallower than at present. I intend to take the boat to the Boatwright folks in a Houston suburb and talk to them. That won't happen for 6 months, though. Sorry I can't help more. rich [/QUOTE]
