14 foot model $62,000. Shaun Banks buids a better for about $20k depending on options but come one why would any private owner own one unless they had 100's of acres?


I want one to harvest some fish quickly if I need to for my live and frozen fish sales. It would have come in handy when I needed to move some fish a few weeks ago due to a problem with the dike. Fortunately I was able to get the water low enough to expose all the big fish and just scoop them up. The bottom of my pond is firm enough to walk around on.

I think I'll only have about $1500.00 in my set up when I finally get moving on it. All I need now is a generator. Everything is homemade except for the control box, deadman's foot pedal apparatus, and of course the generator.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
