dredge build

It's coming along good..... Still got to mount the motor, silicone along the bottom of the "flair", and make a mud flap.... I mounted the end of the sluice on all thread with wing nuts so I can adjust the angle as needed

proof is in the pudding! lets see it run when youve completed it! is that a 3 or a 4i cant tell with the picture.

I see it would be wise to put the flare more in and close the side if you dont want water with material/gold reversing on you and going back to the river.

Its only 2" I can't afford a good enough pump to run anything larger yet

Dude!! That is so awesome. Everytime I'm in Cabelas, I think, that would make a great dredge!

Thanks..... I was originally planning on using my float tube, but then I saw this at a yard sale..... Already had the framework in place, just needed to strip it down a little
