I’m still undecided on what way I will go but leaning towards following the contour of the bottom of the transom.  They will indeed help the boat be a little bit more stable but the main benefit simply put, it will float the boat higher in the stern at rest because it supports the weight better.    When running it will help keep the bow rise to a minimum because it’s applying upward force to the stern.    That allows for a better hole shots and you plane out faster because you’re pushing the bow down.  Everyone’s been in a stern heavy boat or an underpowered boat, you spank it and try and get up on plane and the stern digs in and the bow rises up.  It takes a bit before the stern rises up and forces the bow down so you can plan out. The float pods allow you to float higher in the water at rest. Run skinnier and helps support a heavy stern.  Those are the real benefits and certainly the ones I’m looking for.   </blockquote>
