Day On The River With The Canoe Dredge


Recommended Posts

Beautiful day out on the river doing some scouting and testing of new equipment.  Only got to punch one sample hole.  Little too much overburden at about 4 feet.  Got a little color, just need to find more easily worked ground.

I agree that it is high, but it had to be that way to be able to raise the sluice high enough for transport on the river.  It still works just have to run a little higher rpms.  Next canoe rig build will be different and it will be closer to the water.  

 

She is an awesome rig for running shallow rocky rivers that have no boat ramps and only canoe slips.

Yep you can see the mud motor in a few of the pictures attached to the stern of the canoe.  Ive tried to use normal boat outboards but the rivers around here are too shallow.  Mud motors are pretty cheap and will operate in about 6 inches of water.  Love them.

To tell the truth, I haven't gone canoeing for a long time. Indeed, I really miss it. Our friends have a canoe, and last summer, we often floated together. It fascinated me and inspired me so much that I offered my husband to buy a canoe too. So, I found some reviews and helpful advice on outdoorlifecafe.com. But I'd instead leave the choice for my man because I'm not very good at this. Honestly, for me, all models look the same. Each of them is wonderful in its own way and looks great.
