I really dont need GPS on a boat to send it out 30 yards or so and drop rig and bait under a tree or the likes, as for battery i will end up using a 2S lipo from the many i have or making a Li-ion 2S battery from a set of 26650 cells i have a lot of choice from my stock of rc gear, TBH if i wanted to be silly i could put a pair of brushless 5200kv motors and have it go like the clappers, but no point, i will be mounting a Runcam Thumb micro camera to the deck for some footage

That first comment is how it starts 😂

Then you start to notice other things that would be useful 👍would be good to see some cheap boat mods that work though so good luck with it.

I did maiden voyage of the bargain bucket bait boat, all i can say it does what it claims to do and for the price its stunning, here is some footage from my on board mini action camera

Very good, i didn't see the point of a boat camera until I watched this but I can now see I was wrong, could be useful for identifying far bank snags. would be interested to see how the hopper works 👍

The camera i use can be linked to a VTX for FPV, at present its just for recording.

The hopper is a flipper and dont like ejecting wet particles like corn, a fair bit sticks in the hopper but dry bait like boillies fling out just fine
