I'm interested in having a pod fabricated for my boat. I've read up on most of the posts regarding this and it all sounds very positive.
The boat is an Hourston 18 footer with splashwell. I would like the pod to follow the bottom V of the hull and the reason is to add to the length of the boat as well as give more fishing room.
Would a 30" extension make the boat handle like a 20'6 boat?
I can't buy a new boat and would like to smooth out the seas a bit for the sake of my back.
Also, the boat has a "belly" fuel tank and the bow feels light. Any advice on weight distribution? Have any members had one of these boats with a fuel tank in the bow? How did you're boat handle?
Thanks in advance.
