[QUOTE="Fishgeek, post: 238482, member: 3414"] Thanks Speck. I found dimensions for pods on Beavertail's website and took them to a welding shop here in town. He told me the pair would run me at least $1000(!!!) to make! Apparently aluminum is pricey right now. Personally, I just don't think he wanted to mess with a little project like this. I was shocked considering I can by a pair from Beavertail for under $300. He also said he would not ([i]literally[/i] said he would not weld the pods to my boat) b/c he would never get a good weld since my boat wasn't brand new & has been in the water. Needless to say I was/am a little disappointed. Guess I'll be saving a bit more money, buying from Beavertail, and bolting them to my transom -- not crazy about that idea either! [/QUOTE]
