most guys will just use a yak or even a small tinnie to get bigger baits out. I have seen online somewhere a writeup on how to convert your RC boat into a bait delivery system with a platform on the back with a servo/switch that releases the bait into the water off the back. Or even just tightening the drag to pull the bait off the back |

Not at that price! I like the RC boat better but weight and size would be limited. But if you were a LBG nut then expensive gear is part of it. |

That'll get past breakers though and a RC boat won't. However it's an odd system....like how do you correct it's course after a wave smashes it. I wouldn't pay 1300 for it, I'd look elsewhere completely. |

The RC boats i saw were totally sealed and would go through a small breaker but nothing intense. They were more used on the nights where the wind was too low for a balloon to do the job. Most of the shark fishing boys use kayaks anyway. |

I night dive a lot but you wouldn't catch me on a yak @ 11pm running baits out! I like a fighting chance with a torch and dive knife. |
