Boat Float Pods, Small - Fits 14', 15' and 16' Boats

Made perfectly!!! I welded them myself and just can’t get over the difference. Sets way better in the water. Also can control my boat in reverse now!!!! No worries anymore

Fast shipping

These are exactly what they say they are.I installed them the bolt on way, highly recommend having a friend around for an extra set of hands

So far so good havent fully tested them yet. Put the smalls on a 14x40 lowe lake jon. I did the bolt on method with a tube of 5200 marine on each side. The angles worked great on my boat.

These are well made, really a chore to put on correctly. Put them on a 14' jon boat they work nicely. I have a 73lbs engine and a 3.5gal gas tank, once I put these on its like they aren't back there. Has a reallydifferent wake now but seems to plane faster. Nice product if you have great welding skills and are handy with aluminum.

Fast shipping and honestly well built with good material. Aluminum looks to be 10ga, or what most people will refer generically to 1/8" (although it's actually 0.102" thick). Welds were obviously not TIG welded with the "stacked dimes", but not goose turds either. Airtight, so good to go. My biggest gripe is that no where on the Beavertail website or Amazon add did they disclose the country of origin. From all appearances I believed these to be made in the USA. Not the case, as my heart dropped when the box arrived with "Made in China" emblazoned on the outside.... I do my best to purchase USA made products. A little research on the web and you will find another company selling comparable pods that are made in the USA for just a little more. Once I got over that issue, the pods mounted easily taking my time and careful measurements/planning. I mounted with six 5/16"SS bolts each, using 1/4" aluminum flat bar on the inside of the transom, SS fender washers inside the pods. I cut 4" holes on top of the pods to access for bolting, and installed the inspection hatches. Don't be scared use the bolting method. Welding is an expensive option that leaves no room for adjustment, and can really goof up your boat if done wrong. Simple, liberal circle of 5200 sealant around each bolt hole (that stuff is wonderful) tighten the bolts snug plug a quarter turn and you will have zero leaks. The angle worked great on my boat with no need to shim. Watch all the Youtube videos on opinions for mounting angle. I've got probably 3/4" rise on the trailing corner with this mount. Very pleased with the result. It's like I added a foot of length to my 1442 Xtreme River Skiff. No more sinking the transom when backing in with that heavy surface drive. And it planes immediately now. These are the small sized pods and limit the side-to-side pivot of the motor slightly, but no adverse impact to steering at all. I applied Herculiner (another fine product) to tops while lining the rest of the boat for a non-slip step for entering the boat. Totally pleased with the result. Just wish I had verified the country of origin before ordering. Good luck!

Great value for the money, very well built.

Perfect for my application. Fit perfectly on my 14/40 job boat. I would advise you see if your transom is at a angle or is straight as the pods fit on at a angle. They are made to have a 15 degree angle where it meets the transom. I’m satisfied with my purchase and they tremendously help the floatation in my boat! I can run in 14” of water with my mud motor before The motor starts to hit bottom!
