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.
