Mr. David Stephens of Missiouri has one of the first PCE boats - a prototype model PCE built for him last fall. We really enjoy his creativity when it comes to putting it to use in various situations. He recently sent a few pictures detailing his use.
Below are pictures of using the boat on its trailer to transfer liquid from a concrete structure to a lagoon.
He laid out about 100' of 5" hose and 70' of 6" hose. The flow was restricted some by 4" discharge straws on the ends. MobileStar Pic shows 2580 GPM at 1425 RPM.

At another site David set the boat up similar to a PCE agitation trailer.
He writes, "Got things set up and put the boat to use stirring the pit. As you can see from
1st pic we were in dire need of this. Pit was completely full and nothing but solids. When done pit was nothing but good lagoon water. Pits are only a short 4' deep."

One of the biggest drawbacks to utilizing the Boat in this fashion is the pump's height off the ground. A PCE Self Prime Trailer sits much lower adding to the depth that it can reach. With a 4 foot deep pit, this was not an issue for David.
David Stephens is a custom applicator in Missouri.
