This looks decent, how much did this project cost in total as with cost of some of the boats on the market it’s looking like I will never be able to afford one and diy will be my only option
Hi Gerry, thanks for the question. In total it cost me just over £200. The benefit being that I didn't have to splash out all at once and seen as I built it, I also know how to fix it if anything goes wrong.
Hi stix 77 I have pretty much done my boat the same as you I have the mr ex world mixer but it hardly moves nothing like your boat did you have to adjust the end points or anything ? Having massive problems with this any help would be great 👍?
Harry H Gaming hi harry, there are a couple of things you can do. It might be as simple as removing one of the plugs on the mixer unit and resetting it as per the instructions that come with the mixer unit. Since this vid I actually changed out my Transmitter in the end and bought the Turnigy TGY I6 which allows you to do v-tail mixes which once you get you head round it makes it much simpler
can you reverse the boat with the impellors fitted or is it just forwards.ive just ordered some for my boat project.was hoping I didn't have to buy an extra one for reverse
You do get a small amount of reverse thrust but not a massive amount. However it is set up with tank style steering which means it can turn on a sixpence
George B hi George, unfortunately the boat is all finished and sealed so I can't so the mechanism. It was simple though and it uses a throw switch in the transmitter to move a servo that releases the hopper and gravity does the rest. Hope this helps.
That’s brilliant
Good job and i like the hopper system it works great and even quicker the more weight in bait. Thumbs up

WELL DONE BUT THE IMPORTANT QUESTION HOW MUCH DID IT COST YOU ?
Hello, do you have any documents of this build or some instructions that i can follow to make this fishing boat
Hi
If you check out my other videos there is one that explains the electric set up 👍
Looks really good. Where did you buy the hull from or was it made?
Richard Antill I bought the hull from someone that had made it as a prototype. It was very rough and ready but it did the job.
@@stix7796 Possible get this hull ? Where I can buy? Thanks
How do you reverse the boat?
Do those jet motors give any rev thrust at all?
Dale Boats 2 go Pilkington. Sorry Dale. I don’t understand what you mean.

Amazing but don't they scare the carp away from the noise
No m8 was using my one last year and was catching carp quicker than I could get the boat back to me
Could you put a vid up showing hot you made the trap door please

Stix 77 thanks you helped me out loads
