I have a 1751 duck boat, I’m thinking about adding medium beaver tail pods to it. Does anybody have any recommendations on installers I would prefer for them to be welded on.
Are you running a mud motor or a conventional outboard?
My 16’ boat came with them and I’m sure they helped with weight distribution when the Prodrive short tail mud motor was still in the boat. Now that I am powered by a Yamaha outboard I feel like they are needless added weight and probably rob me of a few miles an hour of top speed.
Regular outboard, but I was thinking about moving up in size, my plan to overcome the additional 130 lbs was to add pods to keep it running in shallow water. It’s a tiller steer and I’m a pretty big guy so lots of weight in the back
Much easier to add a bracket
Armstrong can make one for any boat , bolts on adds lift and get the motor back , I would add power poles so you don't have to anchor just drop the power poles
