I think I will put that as the name! big letters that say "SUPER SUCKER" and under that "Made in the USA"!

:):) "made in America" is all you need!

That is a real nice start and plenty of floatation which is the way to go.

I will need a lot of flotation for what I have in mind, the sluice will be 8ft long, double screen, fully adjustable and completely customizable to any situation. and the motors will be Honda GX240's with Keene's new PH-500 pumps.

With all a that floatation and pumps a 6" would be ez to do and MUCH more gravels moved,X 2 at least???? NOT a criticism jus' a question----John

I'm using a Keene jet flare so that i can change out to a 6" very easy, but I'm going with a 5" for now because I am planing to work in fast water and the smaller hose will be easier to handle. but I keep thinking that I may want to do a "6.

One thing is that I can only use a 4" max opening on the intake in Oregon and Colorado without special permits, my plan is to use one motor when I'm in Colorado and 2motors in Oregon.

Amen to that sentiment YF--lean,mean,small and as quiet as possible and stay offa their radar as much as possible. LL of a way for a proud miner to be but like all critters we must evolve to fight yet another day---tons a au 2 u 2-John
