Group Pod Build

[EZZ70]

Hi all, I know there are a few of us looking to get a pod build for our 23' Hourston's, Im just wonder if we can come together and do a group/quantity build as we may be able to save a few bucks...

Are there any other interest?

I'm in no rush either, when timing works for everyone else is good with me

I'm interested as well I had a very long look today at a PDR pod on a seasport (I think it was a seaport 24) and was impressed. It's a dual motor setup and has a kicker provision. I'm a bit dizzy from reading up on pods and so forth but I'm not too far out of the conversation here with my 26' Hourston. I am also considering a new boat but have also realized I really like mine a lot too. They only built a few 26' island runners like mine with outboards and I have yet to see one in person.

Apparently there is one at Thunderbird in west van which I'd like to check out sometime.

Have you spoken with PDR yet at all? They're in Bellingham which isnt a big deal, I am thinking I will give them a shout week after next and boot down for a visit. If I go this way I'd like a one stop experience and need to really understand duals vs a big single om my hull. I keep coming back to duals being a) redundant and b) more stable under way.

Cheers

Pdr marine I believe others on here have used them as well. The Seasport is sitting right next to my boat so I will take a few pics next time I am down there.

Wow. thank you so much!

I really like how they make use of space with the swim ladder swing out to starboard and even with duals theres room for the kicker bracket. I'm going to contact them very soon for sure

I had them quote a Pod for my Seasport, great looking product but expensive. They also make the factory pod for the seasports.

Just curious - what do you consider expensive for a pod?

I was wondering that myself

 

[Captain PartyMarty]

5250 usd for the pod not including install

 

[wishiniwasfishin1]

That does seem high - especially if the design and drawings are already done. Are they designing as well or is this the factory pod?

 

[Captain PartyMarty]

nope just the standard POD for a Seasport, no modifications, twin engine setup with additional kicker fixed mount. It apparently also included a 15% material surcharge. I assume another 15% tax at the border and it really starts to get expensive.

Did you have them quote on the glass work and pod installation? Having had a close look at their pods I am very impressed. A pod which holds $40,000 in engines better bring the goods, equally important is the remediation work necessary to re and re the boat for the pod install.

Saw this on FB marketplace, seems reasonable in price and liking the design, that being a full hull transition and not one that kicks up, like most other makes

hope this link works
