I would be having a serious look at UKBB PD33 or PD34 if you want to go large.
Best Bait Boats money can buy IMHO.

Monies though but quality hell yeah

I think as some guys have mentioned ive got to weigh up the VFM. As a few have said my main concern with my actor is when it gets choppy it turns into twitchy bum time wether it survives 🤣. Must say though for 200 quid ive loved it. I think the ND2 is where im leaning for when i start going france. I have a deeper chirp 2 so may just get an extender as im comfortable reading that. Looking at the design aswell it looks like it will handle weed alot better than my actor.
One to throw in the mix is the future carping V80 I have one with gps and sonar and have been impressed up to now, it is a big boat 5 kg bait capacity and 4 hoppers with dividers that can become 2. It's very stable and fast and there not a bad price, maybe to big for some uk waters but perfect for your European adventures.

Not sure what nobody ever mention anatec cat boats
https://www.baitboats.net/new-anatec-catamaran-brushless-lithium.html
Can get all the bells and whistles added on if wanted
Video in the link shows it being used in the sea
That says it all to me
If I ever need an updated boat that's what I would buy.

If you want bomb proof reliable and very stable (but still a sane size and weight) I am biased but an SB3 could be the answer - not cheap for the full Pro X Gen 7 but still cheaper than a UKBB PD-33 (as well as being smaller and lighter with the same hopper sizes)

The anatec catamaran is absolutely huge and way to big for 99% of uk waters. They were on my list when i was looking for a boat until i saw how big they were.

Why would you go nowhere near the Actor Plus ?
That's the one I have been seriously considering and haven't really heard any negative reports.
Not too many choices here in the U.S.
Basically Actor or Ridge Monkey....

Me and me mate got one at the same time and they're excellent. Tried it at 250 yards without issue ( wrapped up before hand )
Have had zero issues so far

Because it was a dog - the steering was poor and it had a massive delay from remote to boat (even at close range) which meant sailing in a straight line (even with the auto hold function) was impossible. I think they've sorted this issue now as I had a 'first release' boat. . .however when challenged at the time they were a bit non plus in wanting to sort it so I ditched the boat quick and have never looked back!
For me reliability is key in bait boats - the last thing you want is a fail at 250yds and the rest of the session spent trying to retrieve it. However in saying that Actors are good value so you could argue if it does fail its not like a stranded RT4 in the middle (or bottom) of the lake!
