Used one last week in Bosnia. Brilliant boy of kit. Fishing at 49 wraps and the bait went out on the spot every time. GPS would be a massive second gen🤔. Very good boat though. Lived using it. And the single controller was spot on and when pushed firsts for five serving held stayed nice and straight. 👏🏻👏🏻
Only issue I have with this boat is installing the batteries into the two battery compartment’s once connected up to the boat getting the batteries in is a bit of a mission mega tight and a utter squeeze worried about damaging the live and neutral conductors that connect the batteries
works fine on a day like in the video.. calm water. but ideally the boat sits to low to the water once loaded, any wind.. it starts blowing over the top of the boat, with no rubber seals on the battery slots.. it slowly starts to fill up the battery slots
I’ve had that a couple times at first but noticed I hadn’t placed the battery caps on properly. It’s been fine since but stupid sizes waves and a bit of common sense comes into play 👍🏻👍🏻
I we seen so much hate on this bait boat, bought it anyway. So the reality is. The controler is super easy to use with one hand if you re not from the stone age BUT it could use a auto cruise forward, i simply added a rubber band and it goes where i want it even witouth hands. The life of the baterries is More than 4 hours of pure riding time even with a deeper attached. I tested the range, Got it on 266m and it was still getting signal But it was not visible, imho the real range limit is around 300m but it has absolutely no sense to take your bait at more then 150-200m (with a baitboat). The downside of the boat is it sits quite low, IT IS a little bit slow but hey, you re fishing not racing, i didnt test it in a very choppy water, i tested it in a wind around 30 km/h and it was fine BUT the battery slots DID leak. I solved it with a ducktape around the slots but im going to try add a small amount of silicone. If anyone has solved the leaking problem please send comment. For the price of 500 i think its a very good little bait boat. If you want a large fast bait boat with two hand remote controler and a sonar that wont sink at 400m in a choppy water Buy an RT7 for 3500 :)
Отличный кораблик, пользуюсь таким! Вопрос с эхолотом решил с помощью deeper, привязал за ручку кораблика. Я пробовал, мне понравилось. После того, как найдёшь точку снимаешь эхолот и так едешь. То, что нет gps, вопрос спорный… кнопку возврат домой может и хотелось бы, но тогда цена будет значительно выше, и тут уже решать каждому… Я пользуюсь им второй месяц, батареи реально на долго хватает. Ключевой момент - он тихий! Заряжается быстро. 4 удочки за сутки возил и он не разрядился (возил много).
Dear RidgeMonkey. I bought this boat, but the remote control does not have a joystick of the type shown in the video. Is it possible to buy this type of remote control?
Hi, the Hunter 750 Echo Edition comes with a simple Echo Sounder for finding depths and other features. There is currently no GPS on any of our Hunter 750 boats :)
However, I cannot say much good about this boat. The handling of the boat is really terrible. It's very difficult to get them where you want them. and forget it with this boat on a large lake, it doesn't go far enough, barely 130 m or so... And if the water is a bit rougher, you are constantly afraid that the boat is going to sink.... Buy just another boat please
J'ai reçu le bateau ( V18 GPS 12000M chez aliexpress) en 1 semaine le même que la vidéo ci dessus. Après vérification le bateau ne va qu'a 160 mètres de distance grand maxi et par petit vent ..... au delà vous perdez le bateau même avec le pt GPS rentré (: ils disent que quand il y a perte de connexion il rentre automatiquement c'est faux, vous devez vous rapprocher du bateau au pire à 160 mètres de lui pour qu'il remarche et rentre automatiquement au pt de départ . Allez maxi 150 mètres par sécurité tout marche très bien. Les 3 pts GPS sont parfaits précision au mètre prés. La touche 4 pour le retour automatique, parfait. Les 3 petites bennes parfaites (2 sur les cotés + 1 derrière ). l'autonomie d'une batterie pleine de 12000= 10 aller/retour (100m de distance) par petit vent sur eau close. (Temps de charge complète 8 heures sur secteur) prix d'une batterie de 12000ah supplémentaire est de 20€ (en France c'est 40€ ). Vous pouvez avoir toutes les pièces de rechange sur le site chinois à bas prix ! En résumé 160€ livré. Prix/qualité on fait pas mieux sur le marché ! malgré les 8 marques que j'ai pu testé au prix les + bas....C'est un produit qui vaut le cout sans aucun doute.

Glad to hear you love it! 🐒
Good vid mate , nice tip about the spod
Thanks mate 👍🏻
Mine sunk last week in a little choppy water gutted as it was so deep gutted I couldnt get it back its a good little boat
Did you contact them about it.
@@vipernight2 no they won't replace a boat
@@garethmarsden795 well that sucks more so as water should not be getting into the boat in the first place and they know its a know fault.
@@vipernight2 should of recovered it and sent it back, they stated on facebook they knew he faults and were covering it
Sunk!? What were you fishing in?! I’ve used mine over a large expanse of water for testing purposes and it’s been really impressive.
Nice one Joe 🙌🙌

Loved everything about the boat except the hopper isn't big enough for rigs above 5 inches.
Had to sell sadly.
Wait for the mk2 version 🙂
Génial😁
Dear RidgeMonkey. I bought this boat, but the remote control does not have a joystick of the type shown in the video. Is it possible to buy this type of remote control?
Get in touch with our support team on info@ridgemonkey.co.uk and they should be able to help you out. 👍
Good tip that
Brilliant bit of kit but only down side it’s a pig to steer so sensitive to keep in a straight line at range
I think this is being addressed mate. It’s purposely sensitive for getting in and out of small gaps but yep we hear you!
Hi will the ridgemonkey powerbank charge this up thanks
Yes it does buddy. 👌
This one also comes witg gps?
Hi, the Hunter 750 Echo Edition comes with a simple Echo Sounder for finding depths and other features. There is currently no GPS on any of our Hunter 750 boats :)
Can you fit a fish finder to these boats?
bring deeper, there will be an echo sounder
i want to know wha make the green trainers are i need some
Nike air buddy.
Ridge monkey установите эхолот на кораблик!!!Тогда этот кораблик будет действительно полезным девайсом для рыболова!
💪🤗💯🎣
