I know this is like asking how long is a piece of string, but here goes. I've just joined a syndicate that allows baitboats. Given that it has a lot of inaccessible undercut banks, my first thought was to get a Bushwhacker. Unfortunately there's none about at the moment, so it might have to be a Baitboat. I'm just looking to see if there's something reliable & not an absolutely crazy price. I don't really need all the bells & whistles, although a depth finder might be beneficial, just something that will get the bait into the places I can't cast to. Thanks in advance...

If you're on a budget boatman actor plus all day long, I've got mine paired with a deeper plus and have no complaints with the boat what so ever

Another vote for the Actor. I've got an Actor Plus, and whilst it's my 1st boat and I don't use it often to date I've got no negatives to say about it. Customer service is spot on as well

I bought my first boat a basic Actor Plus from my mate when he upgraded to the Vulcan Pro. Never really thought that I would buy a baitboat, but he offered it at a very good price and now I'm really glad that I bought it. Great boat and easy to control. There has been no issues with the boat and it has certainly made it possible for me to catch some fish that I wouldn't have caught without the boat. The Vulcan can be loaded from the top so that would be my choice if I had to buy a new boat.

Worth having a look at the ND/NDS boats - good bits of kit and you can purchase in a modular way, buying the boat, unlocking autopilot and then adding in sonar if you wish

Get a vulcan mk2 from boatman, they are superb for the money. Ive had the actor plus and now have the vulcan and the vulcan is a much better boat than the actor and also slightly cheaper than the actor plus.
