Does anyone know how pods change the way a boat will ride?

I know someone that poded their boat ( same as mine) when they took it out on the water it caused the bow to porpise
to solve that problem they put a cavatation plate on the motore then the boat preformed better I dont want to have to do that
I heard it was because who ever made the pod didnt make it with enough negative trim ..

anyone have some good info

I have seen a lot of people swap over................ all I have to do is throw a pod on. Fixed.....
More often than not I have seen it fail (backtard mechanics)

If you swap from a inboard that likes to ride light in the bow to a pod strap on pod that you think will work it probably wont. (and sure that other guys will pipe up and say well I did this)

Totally depending on the boat you are starting with I would say the best way to go is a full beam pod. It will cost more but not hamper the performance of the boat and if not help it

thanks for the post

still not sure what I am going to do yet

I think $$$ will make the decision for me

you would think someone on this forum poded their boat and might have some input

Big Chrome, give Greg at Bluenose Auto in Parksville a call. He podded a boat this year, took out the inboard and from what I understand has never looked back. 250 951 9957, just tell him Wayne gave you his work number and he'll fill you in about everything. Hope this helps

Thanks TS2

I am talking to a guy who has the same boat and poded it now so i will see what he has to say

Bigchrome:

Real boats are inboard, stick a shaft in it and enjoy warm winter fishing with your red dot on Is this mod for the "Abigail"?

Yes A-1
I am debating the pod
I was suggested to pod if I am going to be doing anywork on the transom so I having been thinking about it
Yes its for the abigail she getting some upgrades I believe in preventative maintenence not wait till its broken then fix it trying to get all the little things fixed while its downtime
I guided out of a inboard this year I was ready to take the dog house out in favour for rowing to the fishing grounds
Hopefully soon I can join you guys on the water

hopefully you guys leave some fish for me
