Got a viper icon, it is slow as hell and the battery life isnt as good as i would have hoped. think i would have a look at the waverunners. Well unless u intend to spend 650 quid on one because then it has to be a microcat.

Its ok for what i wanted (towing live baits about 50 yards for cats mostly) but its a tad on the small side when i used it on a couple of bigger venues. Not sure about the big waverunner but the atom goes like a bullet.

 

Look up the vdrone boat, now thats a piece of kit. Watch the online video it is amazing.

 

Would go for the microcat if money is no option, watch out for swans as ive seen two sunk by them. Swiftly bought my icon in as the swan turned to persue it :D.

"watch out for swans as ive seen two sunk by them"

 

Just mount a couple of tiny water cannons on the boat so you can chase away any unwanted pests. You can always say it is a fireboat and can be used to rescue any other bait boats that catch fire.

ha ha ha seriously, it may just have been the lake i was on but the swans were very terratorial and they sank two microcats in a week, bearing in mind microcats are huge, the swans just sit on them. My viper icon looks like a bit fell off a microcat so i stayed well clear.
