Vernon,
The Actor is a tough little boat.
Lorenzo is also a very responsive US agent.
I'd suggest it's a good choice for you.

Yeah, I have now been in touch with him and will likely be buying from him.

See from what I've seen online I would agree BUT a few lads have it on my syndicate, they all bought them after the handset change and I'll be honest they haven't had one problem at all, they love it and it works in all weathers without a problem and they have had it for a while now all of them still work perfectly

I must be the only one on here who doesn't like the actor boat? Alright little boat did what it was meant to do but just felt very very cheaply made and just didn't get on with it, always felt like something will break on it. Sold mine and got a different boat!

Ended up with a Xboat but if I was you I'd spend a little more and go for a cult ranger or even the ND boat

My friend has the RM hunter 750, and likes it alot,
no problems and using it every week,
myself waiting for possible upgrade version with gps & mapping,
for most lakes this is the best size boat with its 41 cm lenght, light, small, agile & useful.

Continental big lakes will demand larger boats, but these are a lot bigger, heavy,...

Had RT4 & AT microcat, good boats with lots of options, but sold them being to big & laboriously, now using AT procat IV with deeper.

Vernon if your only availability choice is Actor bait boat or Ridge Monkey ?
then 100% its got to be the Actor bait boat

just wondering if ?? you can get hold of a Lake reaper bait boat though ? they do 2 boats both very good and easy to open and service yourself
over here think the main distributor is Howes Models LINKY POO

I also have no problems with my RM750 it's absolutely perfect for the lake I fish, no problems controlling it, doesn't always go in the straightest line, but it depends how you load it and where you put the lead, it's not designed for big windswept pits, I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones who has had no problems

I'm guessing if you are in the states that you will be fishing the larger waters , I would therefore look at something big and sturdy like the waverunner MK4.
