I saw the vdrone last week and it was an incredible bit of kit, winch camera, was like you were right next to the rig, very stable. But costs thousands of pounds. If you are after recommendations then your budget would be handy

I've owned multiple boats and recently purchased the updated Anatec Catamaran bait boat which in my opinion is by far the best boat available today. I also owned the old version of this boat.

Latest model has lithium batteries and brushless motors making it a lot lighter and for a boat really fast. The controls are top notch with individual motorised twin hoppers to either drop or scatter bait. (Majority boats uses a magnetic hopper system). Boat carries 6kg of bait, comes with a mechanical hook release system and plenty of leds front/rear with battery indication etc. Also one of the main plus points are the top comes off and boat self serviceable from the bank if required. As standard if bought new comes with a 2 year warranty.

Awesome bit of kit for every condition even used on sea. BBC used it to film blue planet. The only thing I would say is the boat is huge and probably suited for bigger waters. Saying that you dont have to fill it to the brim(i dont) and its extremely agile on the water.

Beforehand have owned both waverunner mk3 and atom boats all decent. Played with a viper mk3 hated it. Didnt like the angling technics boats

Hope this helps

If buying new then i wouldn't touch Waverunner with a barge pole.
Their Boats are probably pretty decent, but if the Boat develops a problem under warranty their customer service is shocking.
Honestly don't go there.

Small boat Angling Tech Technicat mk2 or if on a budget Howes Lake Reaper

Do yourself a favour pal look at anatec. They are bomb proof been going for 25 years. Really reliable and you can buy spare parts and fit/service yourself as whole boat opens up from top lid.

Again they big but if that's not a deal breaker you won't get better
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
