"Float Pods" Installed on a 1648 Tracker Grizzly. I've always wondered how much difference these make? Ill have a follow up video after they are painted and water tested. I've seen some stupid YT videos of guys attaching pods with 5200 and rivets, etc... but there is really only one way to attach them WELDING! If you are gonna do it, then do it right the 1st time. You'll thank me later!

I can't weld so I thru- bolted my pods on. I wish I could have mine welded like that!

@CopperJohn907 2 года назад

Drawing up some pods for my tunnel hull jet boat, planning to cut parts on the waterjet tomorrow and weld on later this week. I like your weld procedure with the flat bar. I'm definitely going to use that on mine

Cool man. Goodluck! Share your build in my facbook group. Id love to see it! bit.ly/TRICKEDTINSFACEBOOK

I’m certified in mig tig stick and sub arc but someone else is doing mine because I don’t have enough experience with aluminum

Time to get into tig aluminum brotha!

@brockkrenke791 Год назад

What were you using for filler while welding these on? ER5356?

@TRICKEDTINS Год назад

Yep

@christophergallavan2590 2 года назад

What do you charge for welding pods onto a boat? Seriously. I have a 1754 SC tracker grizzly that I use for ducks and summer fishing. It would be ideal to be able to get skinnier in the water. Is this a bad idea for me or is it viable? I live in Richmond, but am currently overseas. Most likely a spring time idea. Pods would be provided to you and most likely would be beavertail since they are readily available.

@TRICKEDTINS 2 года назад

I charge $350-450 depending on the size of pods, and shape of the transom. TrickedTinsJonboats.com

@44chavo Год назад

Do you know if these were the small or medium size beavertail pods?

@TRICKEDTINS Год назад

I'm pretty sure these were the medium ones.

@kennethfears1518 Год назад

The title is does float pods make a difference and so far it's been about welding them on

@TRICKEDTINS Год назад

Good point I'll make another video about how they make a difference very shortly!

Nice welds, aluminum on John boats aren’t the best aluminum to weld on in the first place. 👍

@Eugene2ndW 2 года назад

It doesn't look like these add much buoyancy. How much do they decrease draft running and still and how is performance enhanced?

@TRICKEDTINS 2 года назад

Idk yet? Ill follow up after its water tested.

@socaloutfitters7386 Год назад

@@TRICKEDTINShow was the water test? I’m about to do same on my 1648. Was curious if you took into account the 1/2 tilt they want for flat bottom from end of transom to end of pod. Obviously these are semi v

@kaddencrawford8260 2 года назад

What are the dimensions of the pods? Curious if I can fit them on my 1648 with enough room for the motor to turn.

@mr.diyhowtopaintingwelding4479 2 года назад

I was wanting to do the same thing. I'm thinking about using my spool gun instead of tig welding it

@croakerchoker2957 2 года назад

Nice job big dog! Keep grinding man. You do some awesome work.

@FranksDIY 2 года назад

What are they for ? never seen this before.

@TRICKEDTINS 2 года назад

They add buoyancy to the back of the boat. It basically brings the back end up so it sits higher in the water. It drafts less water, and allows you to run the shallows. Mainly used on duck boats. You see a lot of them in the Florida keys, flats, and marshes.

@hanzcap Год назад

What do you charge for pod installs? I’ve got a 1754 grizzly side console that I need beaver tail pods welded onto.

@TRICKEDTINS Год назад

Usually around $400-$500

@hanzcap Год назад

Where are you located? In just north of Richmond.

@skywaybridgefilms 2 года назад

Nice job adding the pods. Are they foamed or are they empty? I am curious to know the before and after buoyancy results....I would love to have some but last guy really screwed the pooch on my installation and I had to have the transom redone due to all the leaking and hole burned clear through......

@TRICKEDTINS 2 года назад

Damn. That sucks. Like i said in the video "I don't recommend a novice welder attempt it"

@claytonburch5181 Год назад

Foam does not add buoyancy , it makes ur shit float if it sinks😂

Where did you get the turf pads for the floor? How much? And easy install? Great video!

Its pretty simple to install. Check out my other videos. I install it in all my builds.

@TRICKEDTINS 9 месяцев назад

I'm not sure the brand but i'm not in love with it. The round dial spins vertical on the torch. I prefer Around nob that spins left and right. Unfortunately I have the same one on my welder at home. Miller said it was the only option?
