Not a huge fan of bait boats but started to fish a venue that allows them and at times theres no doubt they are advantageous. I cant afford or justify spending £1000's but seen the lake reaper with echo for around the £500 mark.im a firm believer that you get what you pay for but worth an ask, are they any good?? Dont need massive range or large amounts of bait. Thanks in advance.

these are great little boats and an important fact is they are a very capable boat and so simple to maintain unlike lot of the other less reliable boats in that price range
personally for your budget I think they would be the best buy https://howesmodels.co.uk/

I have owned a lake reaper for about 3 years and it's been brilliant . Never let me down easy to use and good size for storage and transportation. I initially had an issue using a deeper pro with the boat but changed some of the internals and now it works brilliantly. The time it saves me now finding spots/depths and presenting a rig effectively makes it worth every penny IMO.

I've had a lake reaper for around 4 years and can only echo the comments already made. Definitely not the most technically advanced boat but it's been so reliable for me and does what it what it says on the tin.
Don't leave the batteries in a freezing cold garage for months without use, I top mine up every 6 weeks or so even if I haven't been using them. My original set are still going fine but have bought a 2nd set for France trips

For the money you can't go wrong. Easy to repair as well.
