Anyone got me of these who would be willing to provide an honest review?

I'd like to buy from a uk company but also want something of high quality

I've had a few boats in the past so not looking for alternative suggestions simply how do you rate this boat and company

Uk baitboats,

I purchased one on the recommendation from a mate and glad I did. Bloody brilliant.

The service is great and the guys advise and also keep you updated whilst your boat is made.

I went for the basic version but added the fish finder also.

When it arrived, I thought fxxking he'll that's huge (but have got over it now)
The handset is a bit complex due to being usually used for model planes but once explained it was so simple to use.

The only down side was no instructions, but this can be rectified by either arranging to pick it up or asking them to explain.

Thoroughly impressed and would recommend to anyone.

Thanks for the info, it does look a big boat but it's for French trips so that's fine

Instructions would be good though

The hull and the steel hoopers look exactly the same as the original anatec they were much better than the plastic ones you get now ..... boat seems to run on jets with lithium batteries. ....all in all it looks like a nice update to the original anatec boat that was brilliant. . They are a big boat but very stable ....

sounds promising Heathrow.

I like the concept of being able to open up the hull if there is an issue, without having to re-seal the hull

Yes thats one of the advantages the anatec has as well .........you can also get almost everything needed to fix it in the local model shop

Good Boats a few of the lads I know have one. My only question would be that have they been tested enough before leaving the factory. Although the aftersales is really good and im sure the boats come with warranties.

They age a 2 year warranty, they are all hand made and top quality . I don't have one as they are too big for my need but I know a few people that have them and they rate them

well received by boat on Tuesday

Its HUGE however the components used are second to none.

It'll be a while before I use it but I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I guess its only when I actually use it I'll know for sure.

I'll write a review after my trip to France in August

Thanks for all your comments

How did you get on in France with your boat mate?
Could you possibly do a review?
Cheers 👍

Camo....why would you sell your gladiator???

They look the dogs danglies....seen a few in use over at Abbey with the Dutch guys and Ton is a very knowledgable chap.

Probably the only other boat other than CL that I would have considered tbh

It's the best boat I've used but if they go wrong it's a bag of hassle sending it back to holland
Are you sure?
