New Technology: RC Fishing Boats, complete with fishfinder?

[Meniscus]

Has anyone seen these things?

http://www.random-good-stuff.com/2009/05/01/kamome-japanese-sonar-gps-radar-remote-fishing-boat/

And there are others as well with GPS, sonar, etc. and would serve as a great rescue boat. They're even programed to return to shore when you land a fish

"Love fishing but don’t have a boat to reach those hard to get to fishing holes? The Japanese have come up with a remote control fishing boat, an invention that’s brought fishing into line with the most advanced technology on the planet! It has it’s own GPS, sonar fish finder and temperature sensors that will find the fish for you, drop your line in and all you have to do is reel them in! The Kamome weighs just 11 kilos, has a range of 500 meters and the fish finder has a depth of 600 meters."

Here's another site for similar technology:

LOL! I've got your number, but I thought you liked the strips?

Plastique is easier to form ... but since I left the Corps I don't get to play with that stuff !!!!!

[Meniscus]

Oh well, you'll have to stick with matchheads and a block of ice in the backyard!

I wonder if the sonar is good o find lost boats on the bottom, maybe even props.

[Meniscus]

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I'm not sure if that's feasible.

Sure ... spend 5,000 to find a boat that is worth 500.

[Meniscus]

True, but you can fish too, LOL! I guess it also depends on what it's worth to you.

I have a 16 foot 40 hp boat with fish finder/water temp/gps and a live well that can pull tubes and wakeboards that cost me less.

[Meniscus]

OK, I'm bringing this one back up.

Here's a cheaper version, complete with chum capability!
