its pretty balanced too, i used the ends of the pool lounger frame and put the alum tube into the ends and screwed them in and used a pair of alice pack shoulder straps with clips on the ends, just clip them in the holes on bottom of framework and pick it up. i did put a pair of 6" waste pipe with endcaps the length of the pontoons in the bottom groove (in the pic where im wearing it, there are some big white zipties holding them on) to give a little extra "freeboard" for when the dredge turns crossway in current (the top of pontoons would be level with water surface) and didnt want to swamp it
also, i used bolts with wingnuts on all the sluice and motor mounts to make it easy to disassemble. and i put the sluice up in the front motor mount hole to give the maximun ground clearance when climbing down the stream banks and walking up the river and in my gold club propertys case , walking thru the bridge culvert
