I have a 1542 john boat that sits way low in the stearn. no mater how I trim it I end up shipping water on turns. A friend has a flat bottom that he put Pontoons (for lack of a better term ) on the back basically two water tight boxes welded to the outside of the transon. He said that it floated the stearn of his higher (makes sense more displacement) also made it plane out faster. Mine seems to never really planes out correctly ( sits to low and plows the water). What are thes called I did a search on "pontoons" onthis site and came up with post about pontoon boats and I not using the correct term has anyone made this mod to their boat or know anything about what I am describing? I have seen many boats with these on them I am thinking that this may help my problem
