Re: 6" GOLD DREDGE???

I'LL back up RUS on that one
having used both the Keene and the Proline
the Proline is better built, heavy duty frame and less parts to assemble, and proline pontoons have a thicker wall then the Keene
Proline comes only with doubles's 9 Honda's, but u might call them see if they make one specail

i had the opportunity to use one, a long time ago and was impressed with how it work, don't know anything about the new ones there building, but if there anything like the old ones great work horse

Re: 6" GOLD DREDGE???

It all depends on where in South america your going as PARTS are always your biggest problem and in lots of areas regular gas is not to be found and diesel is the mandate. Many things to consider like how young do ya wanna be when ya die. Customs hangups can last for years!!! You are also GUILTY till proven innocent the reverse of here and MUCH harder to prove. Now ifn' ya live through it,diseases don't kill ya or the locals,customs blocks gold exports or taxes ya to high heaven even ifn' you are lucky enough to get a little. Know many who have tried----and died---or come home pennyless--be damn sure whatzup first or :BangHead: John

Hoser, I have a friend that will not go back. Last trip out he and his partner had their plane shot up on takeoff. He said they were lucky to even make it to the plane. All left was lost forever, saved only the gold on board and their lives. :icon_scratch:

If your gonna use craigslist, use "Searchtempest.com" instead. I searches all craigslists within whatever radius you set.....just put in the zip code, and the item, set your range, and go.
