Dredge floats

[Idaho Dave]

I have a nugget high banker that I converted to a 2 1/2 input dredge, but cannot seem to find a floation device to carry the weight. Have tried inner tube, but sits too high in water. Does anyone have an alternative other than purchasing floatation from Keene or other outlet?

U can use 4" or 6" PVC and cap both ends.
make them water tight then put an air pressure
valve stem to add air to the floats.

Let me know if it works for you.
I hope this helps if not, well at least I tried to help

a cheaper idea is to use 5 gallon square cooking oil plastic bottels. and build a frame around it. its real light and cheap.good floatation to boot! the pvc pipe is to heavy to lug around!and it is to costly for the fittings.

or go buy your local car wash and talk to the owner.see if he will give you all the old chemical barrels.
