[QUOTE="Ag Man, post: 38984, member: 113"] Nah, I don't. Most guys just make them up according to what materials they can get their hands on. I would recommend you start at what pump you have or will use. Figure out how much weight you want to lug around, how much volume it will pump - the volume it will pump at say 1/3rd rpm is about what you want to look at - you can tweak the rpm up or down to adjust the water volume better. You don't want to listen to an engine revving its rings out at max rpm all day so it can keep up with the sluice. Also think about how much material you want to put thru it. [/QUOTE]
