i searched this part of the forum and didnt find what i was lookin for so i have a few ?'s
1) i got a jeep liberty , is this thing gonna fit in the back with seats down ?
2) opnions on this dredge ?
3) inflatable floats or plastic ? prob b using the dredge in cold water from months of nov.-april .. i can see the plastic being bridle in the cold ..

I have the inflateable but wish I had went the marlex. After time the tubes get deformed.
I have a friend that puts his 2" and a highbanker in the trunk of his Escort all hoses and both motors. He breaks it all down, said it took 3 days to figure where to pack it all but it fits and trunk closes. |

a few places i called about them all said go with the inflatables !! i my self was gonna go with the marlex but kinda got talked out of it by the dealers ... not sure if they just didnt wanna order them or what but there reason for goin with the inflatables was that they all said they are less likely to get damaged if u were to kneel on them , they also said they dont last as long if your draggin em around ect , and added weight and less packable ... im not experienced enough to make the call either way but i ended up with the rubber ... |

they know in about 2-3 yrs if you use it a lot they can sell you replacements. if you end up replacing them get the others and add keel protectors to the bottoms. that stuff is tough enough to be able to drag it on the ground to the river. you can get it at any boat supply.
