[QUOTE="jamie, post: 264850, member: 2214"] imo bigger is better, you wont need to push the 1.5" as hard as the 1" so the pros of it is less fuel usage, less strain on the pump and more revs in reserve if you need to push more water (up hill, further distance, clay etc) the cons of the bigger pump tho is more weight if that is a factor to you, generally more expensive and you will need to buy more hose to suit in this case. i have a 2" 6.5hp 4 stroke pump and i will get about 3 days from a tank of fuel, my pump is on idle the whole time but have a heap of spare revs if need be, the down side of it tho is it is heavy (25ish kg from memory) doesnt seem like much but carrying it 500m up a creek is awful, but i am no expert on sluicing mate, i am sure if i am giving you a bum steer (not on purpose i assure you) someone will point it out [/QUOTE]
