Post Flotation Pod Modifications
alright, i have a 16-60GDSD boat. Im looking to cut open to two back flotation pods to make extra storage. Do yall know of anything that i could just slip into the whole, such as a fiberglass or aluminum box? Any other suggestions? any help will be greatly appreciated

??? if you are going to make storage out of them you going to have to do some weldin. Cut the tops out make some lids that will not allow water in. Either recessed or built up. Only thing is if you put too much weight in them they won't do their job.

On my old jon boat I had we used some bass pro tubs and lids but we framed it out of wood and had holes in the bottom so it would drain the tub... it will fill with water.

There was a guy on here that did it, don't remember his name, bit he put up some pics. Do a search but it may be on the old site. He cut a hole in the side and pulled out all of the foam.
