@rcsupercubbuilder This Dredge has great suction and will move over a cubic yard of loose material an hour. Early this spring we had it in the water to test it and the spot we were at was all loose stuff and it just went right through it. We normally run it throttled down a little bit, so no it is not underpowered.
@goldmineidaho i heard from a hole bunch of experienced dredgers that a 5 inch should be doing 5+ yards an hour in loose stuff and around 2-5 in hardpack(depends upon operator and size rocks)
@rcsupercubbuilder If these experienced dredgers were running 2" minus non compacted material, it might happen at 2 or 3 yards. Hard packed material I would have to see to believe. To many variables.
How much gold can you get in a day using that?

Nice looking dredge. I'm thinking of heading to Idaho this summer since California is run by nazi's and don't allow dredging. lol

Does that dredge have good suction? Can it move a lot of material? And is it underpowered with a 7hp?
