"anglers" of today I'm afraid. Every manufacturer has their fan boys to be fair. The amount of stuff that's pre-ordered is comical, people have only seen pictures of a product, no user reports ,and yet the pre order just to be the first on the bank with said item, without knowing if it's actually any good or not.

I am not a “fan boy”. I needed a bait for france and the one i ordered wouldn't be with me on time. So I got the ridgemonkey one from a tackle shop the day before I came over here.

So of all the readily available bait boats on the market, you chose the one made by a toaster company? Wise choice lol

I think you're being a bit harsh there. When I recently looked into getting a baitboat, I was quite wary of the myriad chinese options, also the ND2 wasn't in stock, and most of the UK companys had no stock either. The RM option is a reputable (or at least, recognisable) seller, which you would assume would still be around in a years time if you had any issues. I'm sure people know it's chinese made but at least there's a bit of support available.
In the end I went for an X Boat (which is also chinese!) but at least they have good support through total fishing tackle, but they are also a lot more costly.

It was the only boat in the shop. Sorry to disappoint you.

The price point will definitely have appealed to some but personally I think I is overpriced for a small boat with few features. A lot of better options out there....
I ordered an x boat but sent it back as it was huge, far too big for the water I fish that is a boat dominated venue...I ended up with the ND2 which is brilliant, can't fault it at all.

Sorry but no I'm not. There are a load of long time boat companies about, selling boats with proven track records and a wealth of backup. But instead of choosing one of those, people choose the one from the latest fashionable company with no history in the field, barely any history of any sort,and for the most part just rip off and rebadge cheaper products,for something as technical as a boat . It's daft

Can't see you getting a refund after using it just because you don't like it......wait a few weeks until they are sold out and whack it on ebay, you will probably get more than you paid for it!

You haven't disappointed me chap, why would you? Although,you may not be aware of this, but there are actually other shops around too. There are even companies that will hire you a boat (a good one) too

This works, take boat back to shop , tell them its problems and stay there till you get money back, if its a decent shop there sort it quickly, if not put your foot down and wait , when thay say we haven't had eny other complaints stick to your guns and tell them again what you want.

You literally accused him of being a ridgemonkey fan boy and he came back at you with facts to prove that isn't the case, yet you still keep singing the same tune. £500, small and compact, ridgemonkey have in the past brought out some really good and innovative products.
You just seem really angry at everyone, imagine being angry about what boat someone bought,

Already messaged the shop and getting a refund. The hopper has failed to open a few times which I have read loads of people having the same problem. So obviously a fault.
