Custom Boat Flotation Pod Build

[@terrycapehart6303]

Looking good, nice hard work, have a blessed day bros

[@tannertagg7999]

I need these pods on my jon! Great work!

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Excellent craftsmanship! I really enjoyed your video.

[@GROUNDPOUNDERFAB]

For that bent transom, you might have been able to push that bowed part back out with a bottle jack between the transom and rear seat face. At least enough to get it closer. That may have allowed one good bead across the top instead of 3. Nice job though.

Great video guys!! Would love to know how much it cost for the material and how much time it took to do from start to finish.

[@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233]

Awesome idea we will look into it!

[@andylimb]

Ditto. I’d like to get some for my 1436

[@tryingtogetthere1653]

@@andylimb same boat I got. Looking to sell it because it’s not as stable as I would like. I made a many bass boat out of it but I don’t really like standing. To much rocking for me I will rather sit and work the front motor that way. I said if I get the beaver tail pods and it work I would keep it. If not I’m looking to sell and get a14x48. Have u ever got anything and how do it work?

[@110welding]

Looks good and congrats on your first customer. hope you stay busy building these. It would be nice to have a follow up Video of the Jon Boat in the water. I am researching on the right thickness to fabricate my own, i am considering .125 , whatcha think?

[@connorburnoutdooradventure8027]

Thank you in regards to the comment, on this pod build I used .1 25 and then for filler rod I did 4043 in 1/ 8th inch I also ran my torch pretty hot to melt my filler rod a little faster to get nice welds.

[@viperdocf16]

Is the transom made from annealed aluminum?

[@HunterMcGilberry]

Good job dudes

[@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233]

Thanks! We appreciate it man!

[@michaelsfabwork2985]

Great video and I'm looking around to get ideas to build me a set. I subscribed to you guys and look forward to seeing more videos. Take care and stay safe.

[@steveleston6147]

good deal on the pods, what guage or thickness aluiminum? why have drain plugs if it's air tight? I don't weld, can I braze the pod like isn't that just as stronge as welding? I have a 24' aluiminum vessel beam is like 75" I'd like to make some pods for how big can they be? thanks an excellent video.

[@timcope3115]

You can't braze aluminum

[@trekkertype5334]

where are you located?

[@timfrazier5142]

Also did you skip around when welding

[@lukeyagos]

Is it cheaper to buy them or build them

[@BoringFisherman]

Looking to build a set of these for a 16' v hull with a 50hp 4 stroke on it. It's a little heavy in the back with the 2stroke trolling motor. Thinking I need to make one on the kicker side to accept the trolling motor and the other as a boarding step. As well as a location for the transducer. Is this too much of a project?

[@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233]

Thanks in regards to your comment i would definitely consider doing pods, it wouldn’t be to much work to get everything set up, its all in the initial prep work and design.

[@lostboys9733]

would you build a set for someone if they sent you the info for the boat that you would need? and be willing too ship them ? obviously would be paying for you services and the shipping .

[@stevengoodnight9894]

I have been thinking about adding pods or pontoons to my 14 foot john boat to make it more stable. Just not sure how to go about it to swing them over the sides or weld them to the side would make it wider and not fit on the trailer.

[@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233]

I would recommend pods over pontoons for 14 foot

[@mazaratee1548]

@@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233 Interesting... Why back mounted pods vs side mounted pods?

[@zkennedy2217]

I have a 1548 express with a predator 670 and a swamp runner long tail. I have thought about doing pods. But just not sure if it would be worth it? What’s your thoughts?

[@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233]

I would always recommend pods they help with stability and motor weight I love mine

[@timfrazier5142]

Does it matter if the pod is welded flush to the bottom and to side of the boat?

[@williamweirjr9749]

How tough is it to turn the bost with pods ?

[@todgarred1450]

What are the full dementions?

[@SoupyUnicycle]

Nice!

[@dennislanning8076]

Why not bump the transom out .. then tac it .. The pods not going anywhere, hit the pod then the transom ..

[@pablocarpenter2747]

Hey guys how do I get in contact with you? I have a 16ft all welded alum craft that I would like to have pods welded on. I will be in salt lake in a few weeks and would bring the boat if we could figure out timing. Please let me know how we can connect. Thanks

Hey thanks for the comment! They were a fun build We are located in Salt Lake City, UT

[@skywaybridgefilms]

@@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233 They really look good for your first time you should be very proud of yourself apparently that’s a very very hard addition to make to an aluminum boat. There’s a lot of people out there that really really mess them up. You must be a very talented young man!

Your video need more work lights I can't see a thing

[@trapperdan93]

Hey guys awesome video. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've wanted to build a set on my 1636 Jon Boat for a while now. I was wondering what you think would be the thinnest material I could use for a build? I am kinda limited with the amperage for my Tig welder, for now, so I was thinking maybe I could make them out of 12 gauge, 14 gauge, or 16 gauge aluminum. Maybe even braces inside? What are your thoughts?

[@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233]

Thank you in regards to the comment, for pods that you are wanting to stand on and last a long time without any problems I wouldn’t go under 1/8 inch aluminum, what amperage are you running on your tig

[@trapperdan93]

@@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233 my tig will only make it to about 95 amps before the breaker trips. That was on mild steel. I haven't tried it yet on aluminum. I do plan on having the wiring and breaker upgraded sometime in the future, but for now this is what I'm working with.

[@co-opoutdoorsandhunting233]

@@trapperdan93 if I was you I would wait until you can run at least 125 amps to insure you get good full penetration welds

[@trapperdan93]
