I’ve got a Sea Sport 22 with the Volvo penta duo prop and have been considering podding... I was bugeting $5k for a nice new pod and another $5k for install and transome repairs. I figure a new 250hp is around $30k. I added another $5k (caus you know your going to have some issues and extras) for a total of $45k to pod. I believe a new 300hp volvo penta with new dual prop is about $35k installed... so I’m assuming an extra $10k for a podded system over a new Volvo penta.. I did order a new merc 15pro kicker and am waiting over a month for it to arrive! The merc pro was the only 15hp kicker that was efi, hydraulic lift and the gear paddle is at the end of the tiller arm (plus a 12amp alternator and a oil filter)
