18’ hourston pod

Hey,
I have a old 18’ hourston with a Volvo inboard.
The current power is tired and the leg has almost had it. I love the boat, just the size for me. The added room where the dog house is would be great and a fish hole.
So I want to pod, but not sure on what size power I will need. Also is it worth looking into a fibreglass pod or hull extension? Or just build an aluminum one? Will be hanging both a main motor and a kicker.
 
150 hp should be more then enough to move that boat and all your gear. I would go with a aluminum pod myself. Just make sure you check your stringers and transom before you start spending money or be prepared to do a lot of work...
