Converting a Dredge - Great Gold

[goldhog]

We get this question all the time and I was lucky enough to run into Dean who already had
done the conversion. So we switched it over and I put him on a spot I thought would be good.
The runs and gold are after the conversion. Fun day all around.

Welcome...
Ron from GPS posted pics on how to do it and finally met someone at the creek that had
both the stock version and the mat conversion on hand.
The runs were great...

Note the ROCKS on the back of the floats.
I call those our "redneck tuning devices"
They allow you to finely tune the pitch on the dredge which will not only impact the water speed..
but also the water depth. Those factors are talked about in the proportional force video.

Great video Doc. Would you please post a picture or two of the final take of gold on this outing? I'm still not on Facebook.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, Dean said he would work the cons with his son and send me a picture.
Not sure how long he worked it.
