Hi,

Alright, here's the deal, I know nothing about RC and I'm only here because I need a RC boat built for fishing, yes fishing... the purpose of this to be able to put dry/wet bait (or chum) into the RC boat (a hopper), drive it out to where I'm fishing, release the chum with a trigger/button from the remote control and drive it back, this will improve my catching rate by a lot. These boats are called "bait boats" and they offer them in the UK for way out of my price range so I thought somebody with the know-how of RC could probably build one just like the ones from overseas for fraction of the price, but like I said, I know nothing about RC so maybe I'm wrong on the price, thought I would ask though as I really am desperate for one. The boat would use a 40Mhz radio.

If a boat is made that is at a reasonable price and reliable, there will probably be many who will buy one as these boats are wanted over here in the states. If you are interested, e-mail me at cangler at gmail dot com

Thank you for your time...

ive already had two people interested in building this boat for me, but they've both seem to given up on me, or they're just too busy to respond to me. if you think you'd be willing to build this boat, let me know. e-mail: cangler at gmail dot com

thanks!

rckid12,

here are the main keys that i need this boat to do/have
1. have a drive range of at least 250 yards
2. have at least 1.5 - 2 hour battery life
3. easy to recharge
3. can carry at least 2 kilos of extra weight, which is the bait/chum
4. has LED lights so you can see it at night
5. can stand up against waves from wind and boats on the water

if the boat has these features, feel free to e-mail me the pictures (cangler at gmail dot com), does it have prop or jet drive system?

thanks!

the LED lights are an important feature as I do a lot of overnight sessions and might need to bait out during the night

where did you get this boat, somebody built it for you?

can i get some pictures?
