Hey guys, I have a 1548 weldcraft that supposedly has factory installed pods on it, but the thing is they're level and flush with the bottom of the boat. I've noticed that all the after market ones say to install at an angle. Anyway, I have a very good aluminum welder and I'm going to have him angle them up for me. My question is how much do I need to angle them? They're 24inches long from the transom. I'm getting real bad porpoising when I try to trim it out the slightest bit and I know that the level pods aren't helping anything but I'd like to keep them to run this motor. I've got a Yamaha pro 75 tiller on it , boats right at 400lbs running a 6" jack plate, cav plate 2" above bottom, running a 13"x19 pitch michigan wheel 44.1mph @ 5300rpm and its has a brain beating bounce. I've got a power tech scd3 18pitch on the way which supposedly has more stern lift. Any advice from people with pods and fast Jon boats would be great! Here's a few pictures of what the pods look like.
