Looking for a reliable bait boat, got around £1300 to spend, though ideally less.
Has anyone got any feedback on the following boats

Gowi Deposit
ND Tackle
Cult Ranger
Carp Royal Baron

TIA

Take a look at the offerings from Carptechnics, SB3 or SB4
I've been using an SB3 for a few years now and love it, simple, reliable, compact, light.

I picked up the cult ranger a couple of weeks ago - didn't get the gps version, but did get the colour sonar bundle with carry case etc.

Works exactly as I was hoping, only used it twice since but it's fast, easy to control and the sonar has been more useful than I expected.

For £1,100 it seems good.

I've got the ND2, built in GPS, 2 hoppers good battery life basic boat £499
Autopilot is £200 extra
I can use it with my deeper pro no interference,, I use the V2 deeper arm no issues, I like the idea of it being separate so I can use it we're boats are banned.
I've also added the speed kit for a bit more speed 😂😂

I've had it about 6 months 👍👍👍

PRO 5 fish finders can be added if you want a better feature finder, but they don't come cheap when someone else is fitting it...

Watching this thread.

I am going onto a boat dominated water and thinking about upgrading my lead battery Waverunner Sport and Toslon TF500.

I quite fancy one with a built in echo and GPS to save carrying separates and have been looking at the Future Carping RYH004 which is the same as the Carp Royal Baron but with a colour screen on the handset.....has anyone got any views on either?

OP, sorry to hijack

I got a Cult Ranger almost 3 years ago. GPS, depth meter, Lipo batts, all works great. It's been fine and all works as it should.

The weight is 2kg heaver on the nd1 so at a guess the overall size will be bigger. Different battery set up need 2 on the nd 1 and only 1 on the ND2. Different lights
The £950 includes the full app, You need to pay extra £199 for auto pilot on nd2.

Hi Guys,

Sorry to Hijack the post. Has anyone had any dealing with Gowi bait boats? Looking at replacing my Waverunner with the Osprey and been doing some research. Haven't heard a bad word about them yet - but someone may tell me different. Any help would be appreciated.
