[QUOTE="eeshaw, post: 478931, member: 25150"] The cost varies. You can buy the aluminum and it will depend where you live and where you buy it. I prefer to use aluminum that can be repurposed, like I'll buy a boat with no title for next to nothing and cut out the bench seats for material, the rest of it gets scrapped. Around here if you buy a sheet (4x8) of .125 it can run you around $300. Pass! I've never noticed any adverse effects from having pods but I'm pretty judicious about their placement and the way they're built. No abrupt changes to the waterline will help to keep the water flowing. Sounds like yours might be digging in on a turn. I try to avoid sharp edges and keep any sharp edges to the inside of the pod and up high. [/QUOTE]
