Thank you everyone and top bombing, I will do more videos on this once my heath gets better due to suffering a heart complication late October.. Your all diamonds
I know that the max. range is 500 M . If I increased the remote rang to 750 M by using yogi antenna. Does the boat will will go 750M or it will returns home at 500M. Where I can download the user manual . Thanks
Cracking video. As others have stated it would be good to see a video on how you place the rigs and then exactly how you drop them to prevent tangles etc.
I am going to build my own. Ordered a empty hull for 100 euro including shipping to Holland from a guy in the UK who makes several models. Then I can make it as cheap or as expensive as I want with the features I want on it. This one you have looks like a amazing first or budget bait boat, no nonsense does what it needs to be doing. Excellent review.
Can't fault that for £180. My Waverunner Mk4 is a beast and in comparison, bit this thing does 90% of what mine does for a fifth of the price. Also I like how lightweight it looks. Mine will gas a bloody tonne. I bet the battery on mine alone nearly weighs as much as this boat...lol! Would I swap my Waverunner for this?......no! Would I consider buying this in the future?.........absolutely yes!
Just brought one as for the cable ties belive that was just for transportation you can cut them battery has velcro underneath to keep it in place cracking video hope your well now and stay safe
The battery i snipped the cable ties as batterys have a velcro pad on back that holds them in place i belive the zip ties were added for transport reasons only great boat had mine out in all weathers now stood up to the job perfectly definitly advised on bigger battery 💯💯
@@Carlfishing great review aswell Carl having one myself I agreed 100% with you really can’t complain for the money I also changed the battery connectors to the xt60 connectors much more secure then the ones on it there’s a group page on Facebook well worth joining it 👍👍
@@Mylo831 yes just move the wires aside then lift battery off Velcro pad really simple just always go easy when releasing the lid and putting lid back on not to catch the wires I used some electrical tape and gently taped wires together made it far easier but you don’t need just extra safety in my eyes 👍great boat though
Well Ive been to their website and there's no boats for 180 notes they start from nearly 800.... dam ahhh found website with one for 200 notes think I'll get one to play with.
Brilliant boat mine capsized in a storm it flipped upside down in the middle of the lake but l reeled it in Underwear l could see the lights were still on lol got it on the bank and it was fine
nice vid but look at the 500M RC Wireless GPS Futterboot incl. GPS !it is not worse than this and is cheeper and with GPS that works well, so which one would you take ;)
I have an expensive boat, but for the money this seems a pretty good boat. The only thing that I personally do not like is the light setup with them going off, great review Carl!
U could stick different colour reflective strips on each side so when the boat is "side-on" your headtorch will illuminate it & tell you which direction its headed (or u could stick starlight holders on the boat sides and use different coloured starlights) ... U could also reduce the "indicator lights" intensity by using some translucent coloured paper cover, like a sweet wrapper. If u were competant & if there was access, you could solder a small value (500 ohms ?) resistor in line with one of the leads feeding the LEDs.. looks like a great little boat and I would order one tomorrow ... but ... after brexit we (here in Ireland) are being hammered by import duty on gear now... bastards... 😒 Tight lines ... 😎👍☘️🍺
Great couple of videos! Out of interest, how's it going one year on? I assume you've used it a few times over the last year. Are you still as impressed? I'm looking to invest.
Great review fella just bought the Very100 which looks similar in design apart it’s two side hoppers n one little one like yours at the rear not had a outing with it yet to calibrate it and set gps up with four settings also got a wireless sonar sensor with it. Tight lines fella 🎣
you wont get asked this again but what size are the stickers you have put on the boat, im going to get some made up myself with my logo and want to order them before tyhe baot arrives. many thanks
Great honest review. Just ordered one. Due to arthritis in my wrists can’t cast like I used to. I’m over 70 and this seems to be the best for the money..They are over 200 now but that’s to be expected nothing comes down in price unless they use cheaper parts which usually means poorer. Shall now follow u with interest
@@Carlfishing I’m doing ok only been out once this year due to not being able to stand the cold these days,but did a 48 caught 2 a 23.3 and 12.8 so was really pleased. The boat worked great and put me in a spot I could not have cast to in my prime
Well Carl, after watching your video I have made the purchase, I’ve been after one for ages but like you wouldn’t use it that often so didn’t want to spend a fortune... the weight is ideal, it looks good and your review was the reason I clicked buy... mines due mid November so I will do a video on the back of you and link you in... Great review mate, thanks for the time you took to give us all the information... Plus I’ve subscribed as I am sure there is more to come.. tight lines buddy 🎣🎣🎣
Really enjoyed your review on the bait boat. I have brought a deeper pro a few years ago and judging by where the back bait dropper is. In your opinion would you still be able to connect one to the boat????
@@jasoncharles4218 i havnt got any to hand boat is with my gear in lockup but although if you have facebook join the actor bait boat group there loads pics on there with them attached to boat
Right.. that's me sorted for my next purchase..gonna upgrade from the flytec £80.00 boat which is cheap as chips and works well enough but a bit to slow this one looks far superior... cheers Carl...
You mentioned having a Pocket Rocket, did it last 13 years ???? I bought one about 10 years ago, it packed up within 6 months and I could'nt get any response at all from the company, f****ing gangsters. I have an old Procat but it's getting really knackered now, I might take a punt on one of these.
Yes I bought one from Carpfever in Manchester. It did go back twice within 6 Months. I had I converted in person a few years ago and let’s just say it was a bit hillbilly to say the least.
Think that combination of bait boat and sonar has future in carp fishing definitely. Specialy for anglers who do not have enough time for exploring new water and terains.
Hello the review on the bait boat was mega but I couldn’t get to see what the boat was called and where you got it from please can you help a stockport carp fella.
@@Carlfishing thank you so much for this review I ordered this boat it came today and honestly can't believe how good it is and the build quality is amazing for a boat this price
@@Carlfishing thanks for the reply mate yes same here I ordered the basic boat a good few weeks ago but haven't had chance to use it and was wondering how accurate the gps was but probably will get the upgrade kit now as I can see it being very handy for when I can go again
Thanks for the review pal 👍 just a quick question bud when you say you can unplug the batteries and then say they are held in by ties does that effect you changing the batteries when they die on the bank and replacing them with your spare set cheers again 👍
Can you buy spare battery for the boat it's self I have waverunner but it's bloody massive great for very large waters but I want a small boat for uk but be able to change battery when needed
good video mate, I want a simple affordable boat, I only get out 5-6 times a year due to work. So this would be great. It would be good if you could demo the rig placement underneath and in rear hopper.
No point chap, it loads the same as any bait boat under the hoppers on placed on the slide hopper. Gravity and the grace of God does the rest. £1 or a million pounds doesn’t alter how the rig falls in the water.
Great review, does look the part. The housing on the top which holds the electrical parts, does that have a seal? It looks like it could have problems with water ingress?
Really great review! I would say open it up and add further LEDs, or change the uber bright reds to maybe less bright or one green. Maybe a bit of ballast also. Sounds Great starting point. Could you do a range test?
All in good time, I suffered a heart attack at the end of October and have the GPS to film yet. Once I can I will do Scott. Thanks for watching chap 👍✅
nice review I have to say some of the prices on boats id crazy and I'd nervous fishing the 52 acre lake in France where I go with soemthign that exspensive...........I'd be gutted if £180 boat sank but you'd be ill if £1500 went down..............I may treat myself to one fir Xmas cheers
Cheers! Went on the website first thing i see is buy now for next day delivery only to be told a week later its pre order u have to wait 8 weeks wtf? Doesnt say that anywhere! What takes 8 weeks?
@@Carlfishing mate before the video you worked for them you got the boat free and your not man enough to stand and admit it but never mind fair play to ya
@@richardharris6628 nope utterly wrong and let’s do pink slips on that one chap. I could do with a new car. Now you man up and let’s see them car keys hey 🤣🤣🤣✅ Put your money where your mouth is Richard.
I have the baiting people 500 boat and it’s useless I will be getting one of these. I want to know can it take a wet mix of bait also does the door operate problem with out jamming
Nice video Carl, brought this bait boat a month ago, really has got me some bigger fish. Solid little boat. It has velcro under the battery and the cable tie is just to hold it in transit when buying boat.
what boat is it please, i have clicked the link and there are a re few boats on there but i am intrested in the the exact boat you have revied cheers. many thanks
Just bought one after watching this . Cracking review . Thanks
No worries and that’s for watching
Where did you order from I can’t manage to find a website that’s sells them
Lake reaper, quality boat for around £200-£300 never let me down and has great performance
Cheapest I've seen the Lake Reaper new is £345.
Where have you seen it cheaper please as I'm considering these two boats.
Thank you everyone and top bombing, I will do more videos on this once my heath gets better due to suffering a heart complication late October.. Your all diamonds

Great review Carl this could be my first boat. 🚢⛵

is that 180 it arrives u use it or do u have to buy any other parts before u can use it??
£179.99 plus postage, then just charge it and take it fishing with you chap.
