none except the pump/engine. buy a good pumpe/engine for the dredgeing portion. dont skip on that aprt of it. all the rest of it can be easily made at your convience!if you dont know how, learn!

However, he may need more horsies in that Honda to power a highbanker. I'd go no less than 5hp to get the water from the river to those spray bars, but 4-stroke Honda for sure. I dunno, I reckon he could build a mini version with a 2.5hp. ![confused0082[1].gif](style_emoticons/default/confused0082[1].gif)

Swizz i go along with your thinking. you may need to pump that water up hill a long ways and need the HP to do it! plus you may want to use a suction nozzel for a combo, so yuo would be better off buying a good pump/motor the first time instead of buying 2 pump/motor combos in the end!i know, i have three pump/engine combos for my equipment.
