    Rc Retrieval boats ?? What do you use?

    Looking to get some ideas on this. Im tired of bringing my flat bottom boat to the lake or a seadoo every time I go. Thanks for any help you can provide.

          get a kayak, theyre lightweight and easy. rc retrieval boats just dont work in some cases. if the boat is far out, its almost impossible to line up the retrieval boat to the downed boat to get it back

              i agree single seat kayaks are the best or even just a blow up raft is worth every penny..an rc retrieval boat just seems too redundant or something..i know i would have a hard time trying to get the boat hooked or manuvered correctly to get it back to shore..by the time i was done screwing around i could have just hopped in the kayak and got it

                    yes i agree fishing does work. but you gotta be good, and there are times when a boat is needed.

                          I have a traxxas blast and I installed an eyehook on the back and use it to haul out a fishing line. I run the boat around the stranded model a few times then reel 'em in...

                          The Blast is nice for this as it has a steerable drive so is very maneverable at low speed.
