- Lies and Myths about Float Pods on a Jon Boat
In this video we are discussing the lies and myths about putting float pods on a jon boat. I did a lot of internet research before installing my pods and received a ton of bad information from all over the place. I want to clear up a lot of myths and misconceptions of how to install float pods on a jon boat from my experience. As always don't forget to stick around to the end of the video for the hater's corner and lots of funny bloopers!
Big thanks to Ryan @fireantfishing for helping film the B-roll footage for this video!

As a previous boat mechanic I can attest that 3M 5200 is just as good as bolting, we would use that stuff on the underwater gear on like mastercrafts And we would literally have to take a sledgehammer to get it to break loose and sometimes it would even break gel coat and fiber glass instead of the 5200
Man thats good to hear. I knew 200 was strong but I didn't know it was that strong
Try 7200.
We usually use bolts/screws and 5200
A heat gun can help loosen the 5200 to get pieces apart.
Love the video. Informative funny to the point. Appreciate the feedback I learned a bit watching and I feel like with my limited experience in physics I trust your input.
I just want to say i feel like putting foam in the pods would be best. Why not automatically displace water? At maybe 10lbs I think the weight of the foam is worth never having water inside the pod. A failsafe. Especially with not welding but = importance. Just my 2 cents.
Love the video keep em coming! I'm never opposed to saving time and money thanks again! ( been day drinking n idc :p)
I love your execution of telling people how stupid they are on the internet.
someone has to let the haters know that we love them. LOL Thanks for watching.
Love the Chanel name lol your funny too lol , they do improve hole shot and support heavier motors so your boat sits more level .
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. I love the pods so far, best mod to my boat yet.
Soooo....stick around!
@@serialseatsniffer5610 😂
Live in their parents basement and never mounted float pods or mounted anything else for that matter
I do have to give you the credit for my even finding out about these things. I didn't even know they existed until I saw one of your videos. I immediately ordered the medium size pair from Backwater, Inc out of Minnesota and installed them on my 1989 Landau 'Sport 10' 17ft aluminum bass boat with 40 hp Evinrude. Mine were beautifully built and expertly welded with something like 10 gauge marine aluminum and were perfectly air tight. I mounted them just like you have yours on your boat, basically the design of the pods is already there and I just mounted them down to the bottom at the transom and out to the edge of the hull. It was as if they were made for my boat. I agonized about how to secure them because I didn't want to spoil the integrity of the airtightness of the pods, nor did I want to risk burning through my hull welding them on. The hull thickness at the transom is about 16 gauge I'm guessing. So I thought and thought, and decided to order two locking watertight deck hatches that were about the right size to fit the tops of the pods, cut the tops out of the pods and through bolted them through the transom using 5/16'" stainless steel bolts with flat washers, fender washers and nyloc nuts, all stainless steel. I also used the two pieces that were left over from the cutouts on the tops of the pods to make two backing plates inside the transom that are shaped to fit the little bit of deadrise that the hull has. Also, like you, I used a generous beading of 5200 around all the through bolts and the perimeter of the pods, like two passes and then used the rest of it to run a line of "caulk" across the tops of the pods. Maybe a little bit of overkill, but they are absolutely bonded and fixed to the hull. The flotation they provide at the very aft end of the boat and to the outside of the boat has made a completely different boat out of mine. Even with the weight of the motor, fuel tanks, battery, oil reservoir and everything including people at the back of the boat, the flotation is unbelievable. I will say that at rest, the pods are practically underwater or flush with the surface of the water. The boat is also very much more stable in roll, both at rest and at speed. I consider this modification to be the very best thing I ever did to the boat, and it has made the boat much safer and more enjoyable to use. No penalty in performance, maybe even a little better in getting up to plane and yet my tilt/trim is still very effective. I sealed the hatches very well and they don't leak a drop. Best thing I ever did to that little boat.
Good to hear you had a good experience like I did! Hands down one of my favorite mods to my boat. I considered going the same route you did and bolting them on, but I figured ya only live once, might as well try something different.
@@SendItJonBoats I read your comment as "I ordered a pair from backwater minnesota". I was offended a bit but you're not wrong!
I don't know how anyone could possibly think adding foam could help with bouyacy. Adding anything removes air which removes bouyacy.
Was thinking about subscribing then saw the LSU sign in the background….. now I’m definitely subscribing lol
GEAUX TIGERS!!!! Thanks for the sub!
My fellow LSU mates! Cheers fella
I say your full of SH!!!.....nah just kiddin, Love yuh hun!
LMAO.... I may be full of it, but who else is going to ride a unicorn in a jon boat and yell YEE YEE!!! Luv u Boo!
Now look what you done! Ya done hurt those folks feelings that live in their parents basement 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@SendItJonBoatsLove all your videos, Just catching up on all of them, Where can I find a header an muffler for my Predator 420? Thanks brother!!!
I have a 1432 Jon boat flat bottom and I'm looking to put a mudskipper surface drive with a 13 HP twin that weighs 85 lb and the surface drive weighy 76 77weigh can I weigh 200 would I need to add these flotation devices to the back of the boat anxiously awaiting your reply I love your show or your channel makes me laugh
On a 1432 you could get away with no pods, but they will definitely help. I ran a 13hp on my old 1436 and it held up just fine but it did squat a little in the back.
@@SendItJonBoats thank you so much I was beginning to wonder if I would have an issue with it being so heavy I greatly appreciate your advice in helping me decide I think I will go ahead and add some just to be safe PS please don't scooter me LOL I love that segment that you have take care be safe😀
@@sef53591 You are safe from the scooter corner bud! LOL Good luck with the pods, I love mine and would do it again in a heart beat.
I have a metal boat that my father made 37 years ago. He has never worked with a welding machine and grinder before, he is an industrial designer. I have been in metalworking for 15 years and I want to make a new aluminum boat and these videos of yours are of great use to me.
Heck yeah man, wish I had more time to weld and fabricate stuff because I love it. I hope your new boat turns out good.
My Jon boat now identifies as a Jill boat. When I pull out the plug now instead of water flowing out menstrual fluids do 😒and pee yew what a stink
I laughed way too hard at that... coffee almost exited my nose at mach 4.
@@SendItJonBoats glad I could make you laugh we all need it in this new world
Man, please tell me you can work "and while we wait...we hydrate" into a future video 😂 you nailed the accent brother👌
GOOD IDEA!!!! That will have to be in the scooter section next time. The accent is natural, I am originally from Louisiana, and I love that guy on TikTok. He cracks me up!
Chainsaws, deep throating, pine cones, and pee holes!!!! I always fast forward to the scooter part of the show first, after a good laugh then I go back to the beginning and watch the content. Keep SENDING IT !
LOL... never know why my unfiltered brain my spit out during the scooter corner. Thanks for watching, many more coming soon!
This is the last time I watch your videos while trying to put the kids to sleep! Number Yellow busted me up and I woke up the boy! Thank you for the info on the pods. I’ve been debating getting them.
LMAO... At least I didn't do myth number lamp! Then you may have been crying and laughing. Thanks for checking out the video bud! Get them pods, I love mine!
Actual real world experience vs keyboard cowboy's got a like. Haterade got a subscription, pinecone-peehole glad I wasn't drinking or I'd have nasal sprinklered my soda.
LOL, glad I could make ya laugh. Thanks for the sub and the like. Many more almost soda spitting videos coming soon!
Hey man that 3m and aluminum rivet combo works quite well. That's basically how we keep aircraft together lol so why the hell wouldn't it work on a boat. Also makes for easy-ish replacement if you crunch one
Very good point about replacement... getting that 3m off would be a hell of job but it can be done with s grinder, some wire wheels and some patience!
There is a spray you can get that breaks down 5200 it's called De-bond. Works pretty good if you can't use a power tool. You can find it in the Kellogg catalog, online or at boat supply store. Have fun.
Just Bought a 16ft Xpress and I'm here for all this info! Thanks so much!
Thats a nice boat, xpress makes good stuff
So yes, 3M 5200 is bad ass. We used it to bed sailboat winches to the deck and they never come off.
I always heard it was great stuff just never glued a whole pod on with it.... but now I have!
Alright, so I really like your boat. You’ve done a good job, I come for the actual boat & motor talk etc..., lil too much nonsense in my opinion. To each their own.
Thank you. We like to talk smack and have fun here.
Haters are going to hate... The rest of us will subscribe and like...
Good way to look at it... but I still like to hate on the haters, because it's funny!
LSU 1500$ for 10$ bet to win SEC championship. 2,500 for 10$ bet for NCAA Championship. They have a great chance to win SEC and NCAA if they can just beat Fla St at FLa Opening game. They need that win to start. Make or break the season on opening day just like the great LSU teams of the past!
Im ready for season to start.
Thanks for another good video. Certainly one of ne favorite channels and while I'm not ready to as deep down the Jon boat rabbit hole as you are (yet), these are definitely helping my ideas of what I want evolve!
Thanks Jesse... It is becoming an addiction, I have so many wild ideas and plans for the channel, now I just need more time to do boat stuff and not work as much!
Do you have a vid of your float pads?
Also I have given some thought to roll or pitch and don't understand why people want to put pontoons on the boat for better stabilization.
Why not just use angled skate boards so that when you turn it keeps the boat more level?
I call them skate boards because they look like them without wheels and they are angled to the inside so that when you turn the boat at high speed it just lays or skates on them cutting down on roll.
I suppose they are better on a motorized canoe and I'm not an expert boat builder but if you've ever been in a canoe and turned sharply then you know what I'm referring to.
These just keep it from roll flipping if turned too fast.
I'm building one right now and if it works on my 18x60 then I'll video it.
Yes I have a video about how I did them , I even linked it in this video and said there is a video about them.
I've got an 18/60 and would like to know if you finished it and how well it worked.
I built a 22 ho long tail and then discovered that the boat was too wide for optimum performance.
These may save my DIY butt! Lol
It would blow their minds on how they make airboats and small air planes
I know right!?! I even said that in the first pod video... the whole boat is riveted together so pods riveted ont he boat is not a big deal! LOL.
Who?

Bro, its a flat bottom carp bucket.

I love that Stalekracker guy. He cracks me up.
@@SendItJonBoats every. Single. Time.
What i want are float+thust pods on a pontoon, say a pair of 10kw electric jet pots to run at low speed, or suppliment the existing outboard
That would be cool.
First time watching and I love the content! You’re hilarious and the information you provided is very valuable.
Thanks Thomas, glad you are enjoying the channel. Many more fun videos coming soon.
It is apparent that adding buoyancy to the stern or even the bow of a vessel adds very little side to side stability.
It’s completely apparent what the procedure would be, in order to increase vessel port and starboard stability.
In fact it’s so apparent, I will not elaborate the method.
Simply, because I fear idiots in vessels.
There are a lot of stupid people on the water... watch out, most of them float too.
3M 5200 is an incredibly strong adhesive. Boat builders use it to attach the top cap to the hull on boats and to seal and waterproof portholes or hull intrusions. It takes a week to cure, however.
I always knew it was good stuff but never tried anything this drastic with it... now I am a firm believer in 5200. The long sure time does kinda suck but it is worth it.
Panel adhesives are incredibly strong. There are productions cars where some structural components are glued together with these adhesives. With some, the aluminum will fail before the glue does when pulling apart.
I like the hater corner and responses. Nice video. I'm curious where you run those mud motors? Are you in the swamps of Florida or something? (This is my first video of yours. But not the last I'm sure) btw the people saying rivets aren't strong enough for float pods are definitely some sort of soft handed desk jockey that's never built or done anything real in this world. 👌🍻
After thought.. LSU in the bayou I bet
I am in Georgia, originally from Louisiana. Thanks for watching
I worked in the Boating industry. We built a 48-foot, open cockpit, offshore fishing boat. It had a composite sandwich boat hull. We then lifted the Hickory veneered plywood laminated bulkheads into the boat with a crane. We used 3M 5200 to weld the bulkheads to the inside of the hull. It can fill big gaps and retain structural integrity. It took forever to cure, but it was solid. If we tried to use fiberglass resin it would have thermally reacted out of control and bubbled up. There was so much mass it may have even caught on fire. So we used3M 5200. That stuff is really strong. It worked.
I love it so far, I wonder what other cool stuff I can glue on the boat now! LOL
Never seen these but may need to check them out my kid "33" is 6'10" and 360 pounds and we have a 16 ft Jon boat and it's a problem he can never drive the outboard 9.8 Hp without others sitting on the front 😳 😉 he's got a channel check it out "Freaky Tall Reviews"
Awesome, I will check that channel out.
Can I fill the pods with ice and beer or does that not help either?
Beer helps everything.... Put a tap in the drain plug!
@@SendItJonBoats pulse pump with a tube similar to the camel packs
@@sbranham86 Now thats a dang good idea!
Fuckin hilarious. You are my new favorite ...youtuber? Boat mod guy. Comedian. Fuck man all the above. Thanks for the info. And the laughs. I am getting ready to mod my john boat and yes. There is tons of bullshit out there. Thanx for the straight forward honesty and advice. Lmao its hard to find these days. Just gained a sub. Thank you
Thanks for the sub. I know bac in the day when I was getting into boats and mud motors there was hardly any good honest content out there and what was out there was either horrible to watch, boring, or was crap information. So that's why I do what I do, so we can have fun and get good info out there.
Good video! After seeing your install I installed the medium pods on my topper 15.
I did it mainly because of adding the 670, although the added weight from the 420 really wasn’t much difference. Still waiting on the cam for the 670.
Did a cottonmouth snakeskin paint job.
One performance negative with mine is that in a hard turn, it will slide and bulldoze water instead of tilting like usual.
You’re absolutely correct about everything.
I bet that 15 scoots along real well with a 670. That is next on the to do list is get a comparison of the 420 speeds versus the 670 speeds on this boat so people can use it as reference when they go looking for a longtail.
@@SendItJonBoats I swapped a 8x4 prop for a 9x6. Only gained about 3 - 4 mph . I tried the 670 with the 8x4, no more speed (still governed). But it jumped, idle to plane in about 10 - 15 yds. It still does that with the 9x6, which makes me think I’ll be able to run a 9.5 x 9 with ease. We will see. I’m going to try it eventually.
@@hdaniels30 Never know until you try... I am always trying new stuff to see what actually works.
I can give a true testament to 3m 5200, I use to work at vac-con and to mount their vacumn breaker. We use about 1/2 to whole bottle depending on the model with 24 3/8-1/2in bolts. had to take one off(forgot to add a part) . I thought shit take the bolts out hook up the 5ton over head crane and it would pop right off. Hell NO, literally nothing but the bond of 5200 after cure time held while the crane started to pick up on the ass end of the truck. We saw that said fuck it leave it for a few minutes and it will pop, nope beat it with a sledge hammer, nope crane hookup and beating it with a hammer, nope. It took a bottle jacket pushing it away from the debris tank horizontally instead of vertically to finally break the seal and even at that the bottle jack barely had enough strength to pop it. the only thing for it to bond like that it needs a good strong mechanical connection before it cures for results like that.
Also thank you for the explaining float pods and how to install them and the main reason to getting them
Dang dude that is awesome. I knew it was strong stuff, did not know it was that strong.
Lmao I'm so glad I stuck around for the roast! For real is that all Amazon pays to put those links online?
Thanks for checking out the video Tim. Yeah Amazon don't pay crap. I'm lucky if I make 30 or 40 bucks a month off them. Not nearly enough for how much of their products I use. But I am spoiled, I like being able to order stuff and have it in 2 days so I keep using them.
@@SendItJonBoats I have a 14ft vhaul boat I would to install pods to my boat is it possible ??
@@dennisgomez6228 yes you can do it
Heck they've been riveting metal together long before there is welding. They used to make train and ship boilers out of riveted metal. Rivets are strong as hell. Whoever said that riveting your floats onto your boat wouldn't work are just idiots. 😶🤔😂🤣😂🤣
There is a lot of idiots out there. I love rivets, they work great.
Technically the foam will give you less buoyancy because you’re adding weight. Granted it won’t be perceivable because of the low weight but technically…
Very good point, did not think about that, but yeah nobody needs to put anything in the pods! I get comments about it all the time.
I would think your prop would be less efficient in the crest as the water is aerated. Oh, another name for 5200 is "F&ck the next guy"
I thought so too, but after lots of testing these props seem to work best directly in the crest of the wake.
5200 is definitely F the next guy material.
I would weld them on, plug the hole on the bottom, but extend them to the top level with the transom. Connect an aluminum tube inside the boat to both and use as a gas tank.
This guy is a genius! One could be a gas tank and the other could be a beer cooler! Great idea!
Uhmmmmm....Pretty sure filling them with fuel and beer would negate any buoyancy.
@@eiserntorsphantomoftheoper2154 no not at all, as long as its enclosed it will float. A gallon plastic container full of water floats.
@@michaelace4739 You also forgot to mention the specific gravity of gasoline is less than water thus providing buoyancy also. But the weight of the aluminum would negate any useful lift. Your jug theory is correct if the plastic is HDPE. It is slightly lighter than water. Denser plastic like PVC does not float. I believe you have missed the point. Any USEFUL buoyancy would be minimal. Ounce or less.
The whole purpose is to obtain SUBSTANTIAL lift, 200 pounds or more.
Too much math... yall making my head hurt!
Totally love your sense of humor. But why isn't your channel "send it bateaus"?
I never knew there was any other name for them until I moved out of state.
You've got a new subscriber just on your sense of humor alone. Nicely done.
I would love it to be called Send It Bateaus... but only us coon asses would know what it means! LOL
Good job one float pods ! Even ,I would maybe do it that way .
It's doing what you tried , more then a more somepeople that had some body do it for them there way and screw it up !
Lololol .... liked your stuff

Worked great for me, and I am happy with them!
i wish i would have found you long ago.gona do some mods. on my boat .i would have made bigtime fucups with out you. BIG THANKS. Havana Fl.
Glad I could help bud!
If your running an electric motor on the bow I found an after market prop 16 years ago. Kipawa gives you more thrust chops thru weeds,quieter operation,longer run time from the batteries. I don't sell or profit from them ! sold online !
Thanks I will check them out. Never heard of it.
“A baby pine cone through his pee hole”, 🤣🤣🤣🤣, gotta love them Internet professors and their comments. Pay them no mind
LOL, I like to give the interweb professional boat builders some hell because not many people are willing to get on a video and tell these yahoos to go F themselves!
Damn son, if I wasn’t here I would say I was there in a different body, younger smarter. That’s exactly how I would hate on the f**king haters! Great job!
LMOA, thanks William. Got to give the haters some love, because they sure love me.
Would these work alright on a v twin air boat? I'm gathering stuff for my next big project, I'm fat and my engine is around 110 lb +/-
Not sure on an airboat. I have never built an airboat but I want too.
I’m from Alaska and I work on the big boats and that is are go to silicone the amazing 5200 and boy oh boy when we do remodel work it’s is a b*tch and a half to take off it will rip everything off with it. Also the only way to clean off that 5200 is with a legit grinder other than that good luck taking it off.
5200 is some awesome stuff. I love it.
I see a gap when you picked them up. They do work though,
Just saiyin. Weld them on next time. Former Navy here
3 years and still doing fine. If I wanted to weld them on, I would have.
I hope the people who are saying reverts won’t hold them on understand we build airplanes with rivets anyway what’s your thoughts on pods on a v bottom boat I’m going to have a live well in place of the back seat and it has a 28 hp Johnson sea-king motor
No one said that scooter had to be smart, just has to have a license and boat registration. Thanks for watching
Funny how people said rivets and adhesives are not strong enough. Tell them to think that the next time they get on a airplane. After 4 years in the Air Force doing Airframe maintenance on F-15s they are totally held together by rivets and adhesive. Like entirely no welds whatsoever
I never thought of airplanes and rivets until I posted this video, all the airplane guys are commenting now and Im like dang... why didn't I think of that!!!
Ha… I put my ski pole mount in the bottom of my boat hull with 3M 5200… heard of a guy put a keel on his sailboat with it.
Float pods ain’t shit 😂😂😂
LOL tell that to all the haters..... I got flamed for using 5200.
Only thing u need to know about a pod is unless u have a big motor. 115 or bigger u dont need them. Just gonna push bow down otherwise. And mounting them flush is ok. Saved yall time.
Thanks for the words of wisdom Travis.
They don't mount longtail engines on the transom here in Thailand where they were invented...
Cool
Foam adds weight. Foam displaces water. If you swamp and you have open access for water you sink without foam. If air tight and no foam that is more buoyant than adding foam !
Yup very true.
Lol, obviously those "rivet haters" have never flown in an aluminum airplane before.......
LOL... always gotta be some haters!
yo have drain plugs in you float pods so in this case wouldn't foam be better ,,, just in case water gets in there ,,, the foam takes the place that water would so if any water were to get in there ,, not much would get in cause its full of foam,, if water gets in there and you dont have foam , you are now adding a crap load of weight to the back of your boat ,,,just what you are trying to avoid
The pods already have drain plugs
Man the misinformation you get it comments. Put foam in sealed pod. 😅🤣🤣
I know... some people are kinda special. LOL
Just found your channel…dying over here in East Tennessee! Y’all keep Sending It! #jonboatjohn
Awessome, glad you enjoyed it.
What do they think a boat is assembled with? bolts . LoL most aluminum boats are riveted together lol thats hilarious some people eh fuck me and buddy went across a river moose hunting with a boat held together by silicone lol it worked to get us across
What ever works my man! LOL Yeah rivets are plenty strong, people just don't get it.
No problem whare you buying your supplies, as long as they're not stolen!
Pass it on, Shooter! Build your own and post it, see it works!!
LOL, If only scooter thought of it that way.
You don't know that side pods will work unless you EXPERIMENT. Keep trying
Yup, we will be revisiting that soon with more experiments.
I don't think I've ever seen a better response to douchebags in the comments section than the classic double bird. That earned a sub.
Im old school... I like the double bird for extra effects. Make me tingle in my giblets.
I have a older 14' flat would these pods be good for it, I have a 1977 Johnson 9.9 tiller handle on the back and it kinda rides deep in the water
It would help lift the back end up some
ahh good ol truth and reality
Exactly! Thanks for watching.
If I take a 1648 bass tractor hopper riveted John boat and put gator glad on the bottom will that seal it up to keep it from leaking because riveted John boats often leak
It will help with small leaks but I would fix the leaks before using gator glide. It's not made for sealing, it is made to be slick
5200 is some mean shit . Always hated trying to replace through hull fittings that are bedded in 5200 .
OMG yeah it sucks trying to remove. it is good stuff
A buddy of mine got married with float pods!!
Need it!!
LOL

I have a 16’ V bottom Monark, I am wondering if they make pods for V bottom boats. I have a brand new 30hp Tohatsu 4 stroke and it’s a little heavy with the battery and fuel tank in the back. I’d like to get some more buoyancy because sometimes I take waves over the back. Also I fish the bay and ocean in NJ so I’m dealing with 2-4’ waves most of the time so I’m looking for a way to make the back of my boat float alittle higher out of the water. Thanks in advance
You can put them on a vhull, just mount them higher and level. There's lots of pictures and stuff online but very few videos.
@@SendItJonBoats thanks I’ll check them out!
LMAO - I subscribed becauseof the scooter jokes...LOL Fuck-um!
Got to give the haters some love, because obviously their mama's didn't hug them enough.
That's why I don't do too much commenting I hate sarcasm , I just watched the videos good job
Comment all you want dude... we love comments.
re: dummies saying rivets are bad, don't look into how airplanes are assembled, you're not going to like it...
For real! I forgot all about airplanes until the comments on this video!
That 3M 5200 is some mean, tough shit. Good luck if you ever want to remove the pods.
I will never attempt to remove them... they on there forever!
Bro, you have to have pretty thin skin if you take a segment out of every video to address trash talkers lol.
Yours truly, Scooter lol
Coming from someone with the name "I'm pretty awesome" LMAO... Luv you scooter.
It’s just as easy to counterbalance the front of the boat to where it rides level in the water
uh sure
WHAAAAAAAAAAT ?
Maybe all them SCOOTERS are Florida fans, and see that LSU TIGERS sign on your wall in your SCOOTER BASHING comments !!
Now for something completely confusing !! You forgot the blonde mullet wig when you were imitating STALEKRACKER DUUUDE !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪👍👍😉😁✌🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Crap I got to get me a blonde wig! Then while we wait, we hydrate!!!!
@@SendItJonBoats 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm about ta learn y'all !! 😁👍👍✌🇺🇲🇺🇲😉
I love when ppl think foam adds floating. If anything it makes your boat sit lower in the water because it’s more weight in the boat
Do you have a portable welder and want to make some cash 😂😂😂
I'm in SE Louisiana and need this done to my flat bottom boat...
Rivet them things on like I did, works just fine.
@@SendItJonBoats
I'm going to do my homework on that and bust it out. 💯
OMG I laughed my @$$ off when you shafted the camera and said, "Go eat a bag of d!**$!"
LOL. I meant it.... haters gonna hate, but that don't mean I can't tell them how I feel about it! 😆
What the hell is a float pod? We don't use those in the Northwoods in the land of lakes.
Its like a unicorn driving a VW bus.
airplanes are riveted. the entire boat is riveted....i mean. i dont see the problem here.
I said the same thing... but apparently all the internet professional engineers did not see it my way. Oh well.
I added foam to the entire inside of mine and then covered it with some thin ply and lots of sealer. Only thing I’ve ever used foam for. Just in case something catastrophic happens, my boat at least won’t go all the way and recovery will hopefully be easier lol
It does help with recovery, but I've put a lot of water in my boat with very little foam and it never sank.
@@SendItJonBoats oh I’m sure. I just do dumb stuff to my boat so the whole easier for recovery thing actually applies double to my situation lol
#haters corner#
Hey bro do you think these float pods would be in the way with a surface drive kit?
Not if you get the right size. Just have to measure your boat and find out.
Performance on a flatboat???Put some on my old flatboat, made a great step for the dog.New boat has a huntdeck.
They do make great steps!
I think your videos are great man f--k the haters .around hear they use the pods to help clean the grass out of their jet.have a great day.
Thanks bud! Many more fun videos coming soon!
I have a 1989 Smoker craft Semi- V hull can I put float pods on the back?
I have seen them on v hulls but I have no experience with v hulls. I'm sure they would work fine.
I just put a couple bags of pebbles in the front to compensate for my fat asss
LOL, heck yeah git it!
i ahave a 1752 lowie with a 1985 50 merc i going to add them like you did this summer
Sweet! You will like them
rivets ftw. not for nothing they make airplanes with them.
Exactly, rivets work great. F the haters
interesting video indeed. As far as the derogatory comments the difference is your doing and trying $shit and they ain't
Exactly Jim... haters gonna hate no matter what
there are a hell of a lot of aircraft out there that are riveted together, and they travel over the speed of sound.
Exactly! Thank you for bringing that up! People just don't get it.
The rest of boat is riveted and doesn’t fall apart 🤷♂️ just sayin!
I know right! Tell that to the haters! LOL
Try some foam pods like a sportspal canoe has super stable duck hunting stand up and shoot no problem
cool
