EDIT EDIT
I JUST SEEN THE Lake Reaper Baitboat & Fishfinder IN CLASSIFIEDS THATS A STEAL



these Actor boats are getting great reviews but think more of a UK size boat as opposed to the huge French lakes THEY ARE VERY SMALL ?

I think for a GPS enabled boat this is a great price !!!!!!!!!!LINKY POO

I PAID MORE THAN THAT JUST FOR MY ANGLING TECH ADD ON GPS UNIT !!

. . .I've got a new Actor mk4i. . .only bought it on a punt because its Deeper compatible. Will review head to head vs the Reaper asap. . .its much smaller / more than half the weight but nicely made - only time and relative real world use and abuse will tell whether its as good as its price point . . .or anywhere near as reliable as the Reaper . . .

Another for the little Actor. Have Mk1 with sonar.
Just don't get the controller wet, though!

What do you mean by "deeper compatable"?

a lot of boats use radio that jams the signal on the Deeper Smart Fishfinders

The problem is the 2.4GHz band lots of things use it. The deeper uses the WiFi protocol which is over this band.

If you read the deeper instructions it will tell you the main usage was to be towed by a proper boat / kayak or cast. That's the main market for these carp fishing is a tiny market with 2.4GHz bait boats a problem.

This article gives some suggestions to resolve the problem

. . .only reason I chopped in my Reaper because it wasn't Deeper friendly . . .you can upgrade the innards and get a new handset for reapers to work with the Deeper but it was easier to get an Actor . . .still haven't had the chance to use it yet!

I'm tempted to get an actor mk4 - there was one being used on the peg next to me on the weekend. Looked a good bit of kit, seemed a little noisey though.

Does anyone else know how it compares to the reaper? Stability/speed/hopper mechanism? I wouldn't be looking to pay anymore than reaper prices as it would be used very rarely.
