[QUOTE="Lowrider1, post: 484749, member: 17989"] I just bought a Lowe 1240 for my wife and I to haul in the back of the truck to small lake or big one. I ordered a Tahatsu 9.9 which I may see in Oct. It suddenly dawned on me that the boat, me, motor, battery, trolling motor gasoline and whatever else and stuff will gross out the boat and there won't be room weight wise for anyone else except my 50 pound dog but not the 100 lb Lab. I told wife and she's not amused. I'm thinking of adding rear float pods to bring up some floatation and help boost the "legal' load. Anyone else using them on their jon boat? Did they help and perhaps what you have been successful with to keep the back up and onto a plane quicker?? We have a Grumman 1754 with a 50 but it requires a trailer which defeats the idea of hitting mountain lakes not trailer friendly. [/QUOTE]
