[QUOTE="rook, post: 136523, member: 3076"] You are correct they are flotation pods. When I finished the boat and put it in the water for the first time it was sitting to low, between the motor, tanks, battery and all 200lbs of my fat rear end it was just to much. I did some checking and you could buy the pods for $300-$400. Im cheap and pretty handy with fiberglass so I built my own. I had to have access hatches in them because they are bolted on, not welded. They worked better than I imagined. Lifted the stern approx. 4" higher in the water. Also helped alot with getting on plane. [/QUOTE]
