Hi all,

Hope you're well.

I am looking at bait boats and was all ready to just get the ND2, then i saw a video on the new, (i think), Rippton Catch X Mini.

Anyone had any experience of Rippton boats please? I know the Mini Catch x is smaller and more expensive than ND2 but just after opinions.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, its the same boat as the future carping Intrepid (made by ripton). However its the upgraded version with GPS.

I have the intrepid boat and extremely happy with it. It was between that and the ND2 when i was looking into getting one. It depends what you are after really. The intrepid just ticks all the boxes for me personally. Its a light, compact boat which isnt too bulky (the ND2 is considerably larger), it deals well in choppy conditions too. Has easy top loading (so you dont have to mess about putting ur rig through the dropper doors), excellent battery life (used it in France and one charge lasted a full week of moderate use). This newer version, as I said has GPS and is more expensive than the ND2, for me personally i didnt want GPS dont think its necessary. It only has 1 hopper but you can get a good amount of bait in it.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
