Hello all,
Need a little input. I'm building my first dredge. I have a 10hp 3" trash pump, A52 sluice, 2 inflatable pontoons from a large one man fishing pontoon, I'm building a frame, I have a suction nozzle and hoses. help I need: What do I use or where do I get the flare, dampener flap, and do I need a jet nozzle on the flare since I have a suction nozzle already? What else am I missing... -------------------- James

I've decided to switch gears a little bit and use more of the pontoon frame just for sake of time. I may finish the custom frame down the road but this works for now. I'm also going to build a bigger sluice. The A52 just looks like a dwarf compared to the rest of the dredge. There is some debate that a longer skinnier sluice gets better collection that the fat dredge sluices. I may buy another A52 and put them together like this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5ec1oO2SRM
