Needed a way to move my 3 inch dredge up and down the creek. Bought a 12 foot boat , set the dredge in it and cobbled up a jet drive using the high pressure outlet. Here is the first try. Later I raised the outlet above the water line and got a bit more power and speed.

I could see running the dredge as an outrigger while keeping the jet drive connected to the boat, then the boat could be used for carrying all the other equipment such as cooler of beer, bikini girls, etc. :tongue3:

Also you wouldn't have to load and unload the dredge in and out of the boat every time you find another spot to work :icon_thumleft:

GG~
