Hey guys if anyone knows about floatation pods (specifically custom ones) please send them my way. I water tested my custom 18’ center console with a 30” long by 45” wide custom float pod on it, and for some reason when I hit 30-35 it does a kiddy like on a jet ski and the motor comes out of the water and turns sideways when I hit plane. I installed a jack plate and tested it at various heights and it seems to do it at what ever height I set it at. Have a 150hp Evinrude on it and the boat used to have a mercruiser 188 inboard in it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

The inboard would suggest a displacement hull which is not designed to plane.
