A great little boat, for the price. Its reasonably nimble and turns well (I read one review that suggested you needed a football pitch to turn it - not so, but you have to bear in mind it only has the one prop, not 2 jets like the more expensive boats, so you need to learn how to use the controls). What I particularly like is the "chug along" feature - as you near the spot you want to drop your baits, switch to that and it will slow down to a virtual crawl, allowing a precise drop of your rig and bait. This feature is also useful mapping the lake with the fishfinder (I opted to get one without a fishfinder and install one myself - personal choice). The boat also sits well in the water - it ventured out in recent storms and performed admirably. I haven't tested the range beyond 100meters due to the venues I've been fishing, but 100m was not an issue and I'd be confident in adding another 75m to 100m if needed. If I have one niggle, it is the pin that holds the trap door in place. It looks fragile, but time will tell as to whether this concern is warranted or not. To be honest, if you want to take several kilos of bait out in one go, this might not be the boat for you, but if you want a decent little boat that will mange 1kg of bait per trip, that wont break the bank, then I'd certainly recommend this one.Read full review

Tested it on a Carp fishing water took my hook bait out with loads of particle, The good thing about the boat is the chug feature just push the verticle looking slot slider next to the stick and it will just chug along at low speed, I can say as I'm not used to stick control as it just becomes just a little too fast with you hook bait, as you don't want to come back on yourself with your hook bait on the bot as you may easily get tangled inside the propeller by doing that, so just chugging out and simply steering with the stick is just completely a lot easier after all you don't want to mess up a nice drop. Various fish finders will probably go into the boat although I haven't got one with mine it's always an option later, The Batteries for the boat are included but get 8 x AA type for the controls as these were not provided. Great deal for a bait boat, I had a word with a fisherman on the bank the other day he was saying that they can cost around £2000 for top end sorts, I knew that, but them ones do have fish finders provided in them. 200 Meter range for a £300 boat and no Fish finder on board though, well worth it's money, Just buy a fish finder. The only thing I could mention wrong with the boat is when if night fishing although it's got lead lights at the front and back is that there should be at least two good torches at the front and back for seeing snags a lot easier. I mean it's alright with those leads to see the bait boat, but if you land it and drop it close to weed or Blanket weed or branches you might not get it to return at all unless your willing to swim out. But at 200 meters there's a thought. But 200 m is great for a worthy bait boat. If your looking for a boat at a great price this is the thing. Read full review

Just brought this Bait boat and had it supplied with the updated Radio and spare battery's on charging it up which took 12 hours per set ,the light on the charger started red and then after 12 hours turned green and red so not a very clear indication that it had completed the charging but the more confusing thing i have found is the on board volt display only works if the the lights are turned on which can not be right i would like to know the battery state all the time not just when the lights are on , this i will modify and make the lights switch on via the hand set with a RC switches simple thing to do at a cost of a£10 for a switch but a bit of a pain it was not that way in the first place the rest of the Boat looks good i have given it a go on my koi pond and it is easy to use in a confined place and turns well once you get the hang of it hopper works well looking forward to putting it on the Lake for a real test Read full review

First time out with the lake reaper this morning, worked a treat, easy to control and easy to operate, the hopper holds a good kg of particle as well as hook bait. It’s a good honest boat for the money.
