My dad took a video of some dredging being done on his channel at his lake house. I thought this was pretty amazing. He said the boat is a 351 inboard. Can't imagine he's too worried about messing up his prop.

I'm glad he's digging it out some more. Last time we brought the mustang through there it was just shy of 2 feet. At least the bottom is all sand.

Wow that thing is wild. Maybe its a tunnel drive so that the prop can't hit the bottom.

Don't know, he said it was "just like mine" so I assumed the prop was open. Guess he's not worried about vibrations.

It is cool.

Maybe its just some super thick steel prop that propels the boat through the muck just like it was water. The cooling system probably takes hell!
