[QUOTE="Lowrider1, post: 484810, member: 17989"] I put pool noodles on a canoe years ago to keep my offspring from tipping it over and they worked until the kids got too big. With just my wife and I the wide bottom jon should be fine. My whole point was to get the butt end of the boat up with a 100 lb 9.9, the 175 I bring to the problem and get on a plane quicker. That's not too much, just more in the back than I'd prefer. In reading a variety of posts here and elsewhere it looks like the idea raising the stern only makes it more difficult to get the nose up when encountering waves or rough water. On the other hand folks love the pods to overcome the problem of getting on a plane on pretty flat water...guess there is no perfect solution except maybe a giant extension on the tiller. Thank you Sir for your ideas!! [/QUOTE]
