I recently inherited a 10 ft Fischer jon boat from my dad's estate that I have been thinking of doing something exactly like this to. Great video. Good to see that others are out there with the same idea.
Just make them half moon shaped 180° round then that don't matter what angle it is you still have your fluency, pretend you got a 6-in piece of pipe and cut it length wise into it whatever length you want to make them you would have a flat side and a convex side either make them flat on the front and back or just flat on the back and a 40 50 60 degree on the front, keep up the good work dude I enjoy your videos
Back in the 1980s, I made a pair of floats for a 16' jon that I had... Each was 6' long by 8"x12"... Flush with the transom going forward to the 3' point and from that point to zero at 6'.... All I used was 2" foam board insulation laminated together, and I used construction adhesive to glue them to the boat... The boat was in the river all year like that and were pretty beat up by fall, but I had plans to make another set and fiberglass them and use a sort of keyhole slot system for removing them to clear the trailer rollers and fenders... My brother an I were both right at 200 lbs. each, and those floats allowed us to stand next to each other on any corner of that boat... Pretty much acted like my friend's 20' jon that measured 5' across the bottom, only much lighter.... With mine, nothing protruded back past the transom at all.. The plan was to be able to snap them on and snap them off as you wanted... I'm confident that even with today's insane prices, I could make a set for less than $225-$250... Very, very stable...
I have a 1448 that I converted into a bowfishing boat and with generator and other supplies I am overweight is there any chance for these being made by 1448 later on I don't have room on the back for traditional pods because of power poles
Anthony, keep up the good work I appreciate it, and thanks for your videos I'm looking forward to a pair of the pods for my little 12' foot 1979 V-MirroCraft it's aluminum.
AJ: can you do a tutorial on how you set up your bilge on the TGJB? I saw you fabricated like a piece for the hose to fit into when it dumps over the side.
Hey buddy, I went from a 3hp 2stroke to a 6 hp 4 stroke and my boat is standing up on me. Will these help ? It is a 12 foot fisher riveted boat from my dad so I want to keep it and make it right. Any help would be appreciated
I would definitely order a set for my 14’ Valco!!!! Thanks for the video! You do fantastic work, I really enjoy your videos they have helped me a lot!👍🏽
I'm new to pods.i have a 12 ft Jon boat. And it's not very stable. Do these pods increase stability? For the mounting purpose. Could you make a channel to go over the run?
I can't wait I got a Academy special Alumacraft 1436 that is slightly wobbly. I've gotten used to it but it would be nice to have a little bit more stability
Great video! I was wondering how much support does adding these mounts add and why would it only need to be in the back section? The bottom of my boat is about 38 or 39 inches i believe. I want to put a deck on it but cannot put as high as I want due to the stability it has right now..I also thought about putting the pvc pontoons on the side but these float pods look a hell of a lot better! Btw I am also in GA and could always meet up to show you my boat to see if you think it would be worth doing this
How much additional displacement do they add? I know beaver tails add slightly over 100 pounds... Could I add them on to my boat if I run beaver tail float pods? Ie.. could I order them longer so they ended at the back of float pods
It is. If your talking about tge point it contacts the boat, it's a compound angle. To get it to angle down as the hull angles in, it would create a drastic angle on the pod and significantly increase the length. Another reason these never went into full production.
Seems cool. Wander if u pump them up with air if it changes the Characteristics also I think if u installed them backwards u would have less water drag. They would be more water Dynamic
Also, a single strip of aluminum along the hull side of the pod to mount with correct angle, and it would just be spaced from the boat, and flow through design between pod and boat. Use 2 inch strip of aluminum, customer cuts to order.
I linked contact info in the video description. I stated in video all contact info regarding pods will be in video description, you can find it there. Hope that helps!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats that did initially I meant to ask a different question but idk what happened your correct will be checking it out thanks! 👍🤘
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats gotcha! Was going to attempt to build some out of PVC that run the length of the side for my 10ft- for stability. Still trying to figure out schematics of it
6" PVC PIPE, much cheaper an lighter, I've built mine 8 yrs ago, created awesome stability, they're very durable, no worries on drag when using a trolling motor..
I hear ya but just not the direction we are trying to go. We are looking to build boats that compete with the highest end out there (Prodigy fir example), not necessarily diy stuff at this point. Im sure yours wirk great, just two different balk games altogether.
All you had to do is make pontoons that fold out from the back to the sides like those Wheels you had you can have them adjustments on the poles and you could Mount I'm just about anywhere you can have them attached to the rail and then fold in side of the boat when you're not using it and then when they're using it you can flip them out I want every water level that you need and then latching and place
If you have a 10 foot boat for what they want to charge you can buy another 10 foot boat find away to take 2 boats on your trailer then get to the lake attach the two together make up some prefab stuff that you can unhook you have a nice stable fishing platform he would have to be around $125 to make that work
As a hunter and Fishermen the pod idea is great, BUT I would angle the forward part of the pods back and in. This will deflect the where spray down. Imagine taking the first set, flipping them over. That bottom front angle is killing the speed. You could also have the rear third below the bottom, giving the boat better cornering, Less side slippage. I did a little racing with boats also.
I agree. As you saw in video, these were designed in one state, made in another, then shipped to me. In renderings I thought the angle was less dramatic and combining it with the side of boat angle would actually make for a more straight up and down angle. If it killed speed too bad I would have redesigned. It wasn't significant enough in my opinion. At end of day this is a glorified kayak not a race boat. Fine tuning can be done for sure. This was our first attempt. If we do it again, it will be better. Just trying something new.
Why not put a point on them as opposed to cutting at that angle? By putting a diamond cone shape on the front an the back you can weld in place then it might be easier to make.
Leave mounting upto the consumer. Since there going to have to weld them on anyways. I could easily make my own mounting brackets or whoever there having weld them on should be capable of fabing up brackets

I need these floats

I built the pods and in stalled on a tracker 12/32....do you think I could run a 9.9hp with the pods
Great video man!
Thanks!!!
Where can you get the pods?
What’s the pods for or do?

Quite possibly
Very interested to put on our small longtails boats for larger displacement motors.
That would bevery interesting. Perhaps we could get w Nate and work something out?
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats dm me on Instagram
Can I buy these yet?
Very good video👍 Custom aluminum float pods are certainly intriguing 🧐
Thank you,much appreciated

Greetings, how can I get two capsules like these for my boat.
How much do they sliw your boat down in speed
Are these for sale? I have a 12’ Jon boat and would purchase a set. Please let me know.
Could this be done with xps foam?

Greetings friends, I am looking for the capsules for my aluminum can, could you tell me how I can buy them with shipping to Puerto Rico?
Nice Dr jonessss!!!
Good to hear from you! Thanks!!!
Good to hear from you! Thanks!!!
U got it bro how r u
Are these in production now? I don't see them on TBN
They are not but can be made to order from TBNation.net. Use code BRIGADE for 5% off. You may need to email them to enquire.
How much additional displacement do they add? I know beaver tails add slightly over 100 pounds... Could I add them on to my boat if I run beaver tail float pods? Ie.. could I order them longer so they ended at the back of float pods
We never mass produced these therefore i have no answers to your questions, sorry
Shouldn’t the angled part on the front be facing down so it doesn’t want to dig while turning or at low speed?
It is. If your talking about tge point it contacts the boat, it's a compound angle. To get it to angle down as the hull angles in, it would create a drastic angle on the pod and significantly increase the length. Another reason these never went into full production.
Seems cool. Wander if u pump them up with air if it changes the Characteristics also I think if u installed them backwards u would have less water drag. They would be more water Dynamic
Pressuring them would do nothing but make them heavier which is the opposite of what you want.
Is there anyway of getting pods on a polyethylene boat
Possibly, im not sure how though
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats thank you

No problem just holler if you need anything!!!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats will do thanks again
How do you know your mount height? You use the water level?
Ideally pod would be flush w bottom but still have clearance to end under the rib.
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats gotcha! Was going to attempt to build some out of PVC that run the length of the side for my 10ft- for stability. Still trying to figure out schematics of it
I want full length pods that would act as sponsons to greatly increase stability as well and lift the boat a few inches.
With side mount pods, why extend them past the transom?
Too aid in lift of the transom.
@@fishingismydrug1 I guess I can see that
6" PVC PIPE, much cheaper an lighter, I've built mine 8 yrs ago, created awesome stability, they're very durable, no worries on drag when using a trolling motor..

Do you have a design for your pvc 6inch pods or you not advertising them
That academy location is way better than the one by my work in stockbridge
It's not bad at all. The one in Gadsden Al near where I used to live is pretty legit!!!
GA?

If the most common meme out there relating to the word "huge" triggers you , you may want to take a look at yourself. Just a meme folks
Has anyone filled their float pods with foam? Is there a reason they are always hollow?
