I know the boatman's, NDS all get good and bad reviews like all boats do...
I guess people are more likely to go online to express their displeasure when they have issues compared to a lot of people who don't have issues so always gonna find bad reviews on any boat within the budget category.
Still doesn't make it any easier when deciding which one to get 😅

The deeper spark? Not out yet - mid 2026. Do I wait for that to release but may be outside my budget for a boat for this smaller lake.
I'm on a small 3 / 3.5 acre syndicate and looking for my first boat and realised bait boats are a minefield and there seems to be bad reviews for most boats out there within the budget boat category:
750 RM - lots of bad reviews so reckon I will stay clear - although it suits the smaller lake I'm on.
NDS (Now Beetackle) - gets a lot of recommendations but also some negative reviews, but think that was the licensing / lawsuit related but Beetackle do offer warranties for new purchases.
Boatman's actor plus / Vulcans - seem to have good customer service but the battery charger times put me off. Plus unless you spend more you get limited GPS - from what I watched in videos and read on forums.
Just looking for a good boat within that £650 max budget - ideally a return feature as well.
Think you have to pay extra for that on the NDS which I'm leaning towards unless anyone has suggestions or personal experience with the Boatman's?

My current water doesn't require huge distances and for the price I think it's worth a punt. Thanks for the response. I just ordered the X RS rod / reel combo from johnross tackle 😁

I cannot comment on the weight of my R3s but I don't think they are heavy but never thought of it.
Did a lot do research / looked at a lot of reviews compared to new delks before purchasing and since buying I cannot fault them. You won't be disappointed.... Well, unless they are heavy 😅

On the market for a spod / marker rod & reel.
Anyone got or know anyone who has got the sonik vader x or their updated version (x rs) spod / marker rod and reel?
If so, can you let me know your thoughts on this set up?
Or suggestions of an alternative that is similarly priced that you would recommend?
Thanks

Yeah I've seen this offer and inclined to spend on stuff I don't need to reach the £300 for the offer 😅
After seeing this, I also tried to find the T&C's but struggling as well.
Have you checked your order email for them? Maybe they are in there as I would like to know the details as don't want to order that amount if I don't get the sleep system.
