Thanks for all the info. With the price (which is fair) being what it is I'm on the fence about buying one, so the more informed I am the easier to make that decision. Thanks for putting in the time to get that info out to us all.
You're welcome. As I said in the video , this is going to be a great product for anyone who purchases one. It will only improve your surf fishing game.
Question... i shore fish from lakes ponds and rivers.. often weedy and sometimes shallow. Cant cast as far as id like because of basic physics. Weight of the lure, distance and inability to even get near the opposing sides or shores. Often densely forested. I fish for large mouth, small mouth,trout,crappie,bluegill,walleye,pike etc.... I am looking for a way to drag a "weedless" lure to a spot of my liking. 100-1,000 feet away. Will this.boat carry a non "salt" lure and line. I use braided kevlar or spectra line and small light soft and hard bodied lures. Will this work? Is it worth me spending $700 on the basic one to be a run and dump then reel with my rod kinda setup? I often feel like a jet drive boat would be best for me. But none are available. Just worried about weeds getting through those cages and wound up on the props.
Hi. Appreciate the video. Would it be possible to show a demonstration how to set the GPS return function on the remote? The instruction manual wasn’t that clear.
Literally ordered one a few days ago, cannot wait to break those waves for once, I went the drone route first but I felt it was too risky and the batteries only last one cast. Also swimming out to save it if the connection fails is something I'm not to keen on lol.
@@JayJay-cx5te it's a great boat mate. Does all the right things. Just gotta choose your places well. Unfortunately for me it's just not powerful to breach waves with an 8 ounce sinker and bait. Gps works well. But I'd recommend for people who want to catch big fish to invest in a kontiki or something better. I found that it used batteries much too quickly. The warning light came on during my second cast... usually about 250m drop. The deal only comes with one battery and omg its hard to buy spare batteries. Literally all out of stock and can't buy from supplier.. Other than that it works very well. Just gotta keep it clean from the salt water. I dropped my controller in salt water and now the propellers repel each other..
@@JayJay-cx5te the first few uses were awesome had lots of power. But then I noticed the propellers starting spiking in and out of control. Had me worried a few times that it wouldn't return but I managed.
Here in the north west we have white sharks they take seals off the surface not sure I’d use a red rc to tow bait out to them if they sent it then see that color good bye rc! Can’t wait for that video RC shark fishing lure!

A pond and the surf are way different tho. I wanna know the poundage in the rough surf and a rig trailing it
how do you know how far you went out? do you have to buy the higher end fishfinder model ?
I was out with Shooby on his maiden voyage with his....great investment. Keep the videos coming, bro
Thanks, glad you're enjoying them. Gonna go over maintenance on the next video....
Honestly i wouldnt go above 2 pounds i think that is perfect when dealing with a bit of surf

Have you ever had a fish strike when sending the boat out with your bait hanging from the back - and if so what happened...
Love this educational video of this product
HI, what happens if the boat flips over??. Is there a way to return it to upright position if that happens 200 mts away from the shore???
The hull design is such that it will self-right if it gets flipped over.
Thanks for making this video. I have a question for you. How long does a full battery last going full throttle give or take?
You'll get roughly 60 mins of run time out of a battery.
@@SmittysSurfFishing thank you for the reply I appreciate you getting back to me
Hello, should I order such a boat from Amazon? If so, write a link, thanks
Every time I disconnect the battery the bait door opens even when control is on our off. How do I correct this issue?
Here in the north west we have white sharks they take seals off the surface not sure I’d use a red rc to tow bait out to them if they sent it then see that color good bye rc!
Can’t wait for that video RC shark fishing lure!
Awesome idea!
Isn't there another bait hook underneath?
Should test from that one as it would center weight the boat
Great point Bobby, we might try that on the next test. Thanks for the input/idea!
@@SmittysSurfFishing i just got one, comes in tomorrow If it can't take out 5lbs too easy ima come up with some sorta drag behind float device lol
How it been for you?
@@JayJay-cx5te doesn't work well here in texas, however, im also trying to drag out big big rods. So for anyone else it might work great
Did u rig something up?
Thank you for this video. We are planning shore fishing for shark near Fort Myers. This was very helpful!
Do you have to have a license to use a boat like that?
What if you hang the bait from the release under the center of the boat?
For how muchboat cose
Good stuff Smitty!
A question the GPS there is that there is set up or comes ready to use it thankyou
The GPS is ready to use out of the box. However you have to set your home location before each trip. The instructions to do that come with the boat.
@@SmittysSurfFishing thankyou
Man, that is super cool!
JACK YOU WAIT IF II COME USA A LOT'S CAN CREATE
What is maximum distance you had try.??
Great question, we've run baits
out over 250 yrds.
How long the battery will last?
I usually get 6 bait drops at about 10 mins each, so I'd say about 60 mins. Give or take a 10.
@@SmittysSurfFishing thank you for the info I’ll buy extra batteries just in case.
