@@JamesChen-p9i hey bud, sorry a bit late. I’d personally say no. I was fishing a pit last winter that I was fishing at about 110/120 and I thought I was at the absolute limit of the boat. It’s just my opinion obviously. Also with big(ish) pits comes big weather and it certainly struggles when the weather’s tough. Hope that’s a help m8. I’m trialing a ND bait boat at the moment that does a lot better at range and in bad weather. Only a couple of hundred more…. Maybe something you can think about.

@@TheAnglr I get that with long range a lot of the boat’s struggle at distance but when you start looking at boats at around £700 plus like the carp lounge boats with Mercedes motors on them you might as well go carp fishing like your in your own front room with all the creature comfort’s, my problem with them higher priced boats is unreliability no access to the electrics then the boat has to be sent off for repairs which is a load of grief, what concerned me in your video was that the boats speed was reduced it started lacking speed that must be a electrical problem, not being funny but model shops are a really good bet because they can convert RC models the model shop i went too he said he could build me a boat from scratch with double hoppers etc I’ve at the moment got two different boats a broadlands bait boat had it all updated to digital and it’s a complete load of rubbish the other one off eBay I paid £85 but at say 60 yards it starts it’s games takes ages to get out there and come back it’s a bit of a dilemma with these boats you want one that can do everything for like £500 but doubt that will ever happen

@@JamesChen-p9i Totally agree with your view on the expensive boats... I've paid £500 for an ND one and that's about my limit unless I win the lotto.. Regarding the speed. I don't think it was an electrical problem per se.. more of a motor issue. When selling a boat for that price they obviously haven't put the cream of the crop in there when it comes to motors. If id had kept hold of the boat instead of selling it to my best friend I'd have done what you're thinking about and got hold of some great quality motors and replaced the tired ones in the boat. The biggest issue I had with the boat (at range) was consistency and lag. You may have seen the small video I did with my daughter on the range of the boat. I managed to get it to dump the hopper and rev the engines at 400+ yards, if I remember right, the problem with those results though; they were a touch one-dimensional. It wasn't until I used the boat at 120 yards plus 10/15 times a session that I realised you get a fair amount of lag and sometimes non-responsiveness at that distance. (At least I did with my boat.) At sub 100 yards though, the boat was fantastic and £ for lb, it's the best baitboat on the market In my opinion. That being said, a bit of modding on the range and engines and you could circumvent all those issues above and end up with a great boat for a lot less than the Big Bucks ones. I'd be interested if you do go the custom route though, keep in touch! After I've completed my review on the ND boat I'm using now, I am thinking of doing a custom boat for my next project. So yeah, let us know how you get on. If I can be of any further help regarding the actor then feel free to give us a shout. (If you need a response promptly, you're better off emailing me at [email protected]) All the best!

Hello mate how's it going with the bait boat testing you left me your email which I will save, im still looking to get one but like anything recommendations is the way forward All the best Mick

@@JamesChen-p9i Drop us an email m8 and tell me what sort of fishing you do and on what sort of lakes and ill do me best :)

@@angelone8564 Difficult to say without seeing it…. You’re more than welcome to send me a video clip of what you’re dealing with and I’d give you my best guess, (sorry late in response)

@@alechanson6291 Monster Red m8- Awesome bait!

Hey John, Sorry this is late mate, KZbin never notified me for some reason.... Ill try my best to help. Are you using Mono or Braid?

If you send us a message on Facebook m8, it'll be a bit easier to message ya back. (I had the same problem by the way, so you're not alone, all sorted now though :) Im on FB under TheAnglr .... facebook.com/theanglr

It's very close, I'm waiting on clearance on the music licenses and a 5 out of 6 chapters editied.... Im not gonna give a date cos Ill fu@£ it up but its close! :)

You’re welcome m8, hope it helped. Yea you’re spot on… just a bit of attention needed when putting out and retrieving, (and I understand they now include some sort of compass system that helps the ‘straightness’ though no idea if it works. As you say… still much easier than the alternative, and nothing that outweighs the massive value for money factor.

Cheers m8!

That’s awesome! What a lovely comment, thank you! Hope it does the job for you…… all the best

How’d you get on mate? Go well?

@@TheAnglr Hi bud, WOW used for 48hrs, serviced myself and 2 friends delivering rigs and baits and came home with 80%. As for steering I have the compass model and found boat to be amazing 🤩 truly pleased. Made it a waste pipe stand too, just to prevent gravel rash 😂. Hope you're well and thanks again..

@@nu2orda lol… that’s a use I’ll have to remember in my next review 😂

Thx m8…. You did all the things , 😛😂. Glad it helped. Got my second boat through this morning, so the review process is on the way for that.

Cheers bro!

Cheers m8!

Works great m8….. no problems at all. I’m in the process of making a video about the deeper at the moment, I’ll try and remember to address this in the video.

@@TheAnglrwow nice cant´t wait. today the boat has now moved into my home

@@MrKato84 enjoy!

Hope you enjoy it!

Thx m8!

It’s happening everywhere m8! It’s a conspiracy 🤣🤣

@@TheAnglr 💯 bud 🤣🤣

Thanks m8! Glad you got it sorted.

No gap, just the classic way

That’s a bit beyond answering in a comment… but I’m working on a deeper tutorial at the moment

Thanks m8, i do yea. Works fine.

To the blockhouse? …. If so that wouldn’t work because of the way the side windows are. (Don’t quote me, but that my best guess) I know Nash sell a special ‘social room’ that you can buy that specially designed for that purpose your describing. If you wanna give me a follow on FB and when you see me on the bank next week send me a message and I’ll take a video to show you why I don’t think it’ll work. That help?

It’s got sod all chance of lasting 12 months anyway m8 :)) But who knows, maybe there’s a weird chemical in it that has a limited life.

Hope you enjoy it m8!

Glad you’re happy with your replacement m8 👍

No worries, all the best m8, hope you enjoy it. (I’m writing this sitting in mine 😄)

​@@TheAnglr I've ordered it and can't wait to see it and try it out on the bank, I have trakker slx v3 and just a bit too small for me and the lad. Tight lines bud 👍🏻🙏🏻

@@nezharrison4648 Enjoy…. Let us know how you like it 👊🏼

@@TheAnglr will do bud, getting out on the banks the hardest part 🤣 should be in next few weeks though will let you know 👊🏻

​@@TheAnglr, my honest opinion on the blockhouse! What an absolute piece of craftsmanship. Wow I am over the moon with it. So easy to put up takes minutes and the space inside is incredible. So glad I have one now I wouldn't go back to any other bivvy after this one. Cheers for helping meake the decision to buy one. 👍🏻👊🏻👏🏻

Haha.... Nose grease fa life!

That’s awesome of you to say. Thank you 🤩

Happy New Year fella 🎣🍻

Sorry m8, bit late in responding… Yea you’re not alone, it’s not the easiest to clip in. To be fair, I don’t really use it to the point I don’t even bother bringing it with me anymore… when I was making this vid, I seem to remember the trick being put one end in first (I think front maybe?!?) and then click in the other end. Maybe it’s one of those things that’ll improve with use, or maybe a bit of light sanding might help? Anywho… cheers for the like m8. 👊

No, it’s Velcro fitting. Not a complete seal

Cheers m8! I’m honoured 😇

Got no additions a few months have passed and still going as this review.

Mine sticks every now and then in all positions… think it’s a quirk for a cheap boat.

Good tip! Cheers Pete

That’s awesome m8! Hope you enjoy it.

I am very interested how the zr Treatment worked in a lake. Very nice video !!

@@jonathanschutze3776 Its the best you can get I would say. Trying to get iron not too rust under water is a big statement, without putting a coat of paint. Hardly need anything........ Just my thoughts.

Cheers bro! Appreciate the feedback 👊

Hey m8… yea it’s a shame. They released a pro version a few days ago and I was like ‘Yes! They fixed it’ … but No, still the same. I can only guess they haven’t tested it in the rain ?!?! Tarp wise I use an Amazon bought one that I recommend. It was 45 quid but I believe it’s on offer at the moment. I don’t think I can put links here but search Amazon for ‘V VONTOX Tent Tarp Waterproof - Rain Tent Tarp Light Ripstop Fabric-10X10 Ft’ and it should be top one. It’s 3x3m and is adequate room. I’ve also got a ‘Unigear Hammock Rain Fly Tent Tarp 300cm x 300/400/500cm’ in 3x4m if I want a bit more room. Both of these are good quality… dunno what the Fishing companies are charging for Tarps but some of the best tarps in the world used by pro climbers etc are around a £100 for 3x3 max just to give you a price reference.. If you want to give us a shout on Facebook I can send you links direct..

And you need Poles to help mount the tarp… amzn.to/3ZkCfWM

The bigger tarp : (Very strong, has lasted me 3 years so far..) amzn.to/3PGADn0

Hope that all helps m8!
