found this toy last summer and it has opened the whole river up to dredge the only problem I've found is I enjoy flying it around the river as much as I do dredging ....
They'd throw you in prison for operating that thing out here as I am sure it would endanger the hearing of the flying lemur toad during mating season or something. Looks like a lot of fun! I know air-boats will go in crazy places, this looks like it takes that a step further.
I've seen videos of dredges in Alaska mounted into the airboats, 10-12" if memory is working this am, but MUCH larger. Looks like a fun toy but all I've seen extremely noisy,but what the heck-John
Not too noisy john you can set and talk while flying up the river ... Thou most hover craft are the sev brand are much better .... And the fuel use is incredible also about 25 mile to a gallon of gas .... It uses 4 strokes instead of the noisy 2 strokes like most of the other hover craft
Hummmm.... Makes me wonder if the Marines have any surplus L.C.A.C.s available. You could mount one hell of a dredge on one of those monsters! (Gun mounts included Nemo!)
I would have so much fun on that thing. I would fill it up with fuel and food and just go..
**** i doubt i would ever return ... haha
so like my possibly long lost viking relative "Oregon Viking" pointed out....
