Agreed that this is an awesome motor! 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

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.
