Whats the best bait boat? Budget up to around £1300. Not bothered about echo sounders and gps, just want a good solid reliable boat. Cheers.

Anatec catamaran
videos of them being used in the sea
Repairable without sending them off
Unscrew the top and ge to the guts
I have a micro cat and had a procat
Both are pretty good for what I want them for

The anatec brushless looked good. The only thing that put me off was that the hopper looked very small.

You're probably going to get 100 different answers, but this boat should be on your shortlist, the SB3 Pro x lithium built by carp technics.
A dual hopper compact catamaran style boat with an amazing 8-hour changeable lithium-ion battery that lasts me a full week. 2.4 bandwidth, amazing range and manoeuvrability and hugely upgradeable with Tolson fish finders, autopilot and winch cam all of which can be supplied and fitted by carp technics.
Absolutely love mine and hopefully next year a winch cam and a TF740 will be fitted.
Really good support from carp technics and the basic boat fits your budget.

I cant agree more. I had the anatec catamaran brushless with lithium batteries and it was perfect. Sold it for a rt4 v4 as wanted raymarine etc but as far as boats go cant compare the 2. The anatec is miles better build quality and totally bomb proof and a bargain compared to the the rt4.
As for the hoppers are small. They carry up to 5kg of bait. How much bait do you want to put out at a time lol

My X Boat has been faultless, although you do hear the odd issue. Best feature is the hopper can be split into two so you can take two rods out at a time, or you can set it up at one large hopper.
ND2 is my first bait boat I am happy with it, no experience with other brands.
I payed around €1100 for the boat, Deeper mount, speedkit, tripot setup, bait boat bag + auto pilot

They just looked small in the photos compared to the boat so the boat must be pretty big. Yes 5kg is way more than enough capacity.

Another shout for the ND2 bait boat.... i have it with the speed kit and GPS/ Auot pilot function.
has worked perfect every time i have used it (up to 180 yards) can take 6kg no problem, and the controller is simple and easy to use.

Look at the deliverance I have had the standard boat for 10 years, never missed a beat . Hand made in England, excellent after sales for extras and services.

Another
for the Carptechnics SB3 - I've had mine a while now and its been faultless.
Compact and light for its size / twin hoppered / very stable and smooth on the water and solid in chop / very easy to operate with a long lithium battery life and excellent range. . .I have an integrated Toslon TF740 (Sonar/GPS/Autopilot) which is also excellent IMO but you can also get Raymarine / SP Autopilot / XPilot either fitted on purchase or retro fitted later on as well as winch cams / additional lighting etc etc. British made with fantastic aftersales service . . .
