I have to say I was very nervous about taking the plunge for a boat that you would not consider mainstream in the uk. I really wanted to upgrade to a boat with GPS, and the catchx seemed to have everything without the 4 digit price tag. After asking a lot of questions to Rippton online and reading/ watching reviews I took the leap. I’m glad I did . The boat arrived very quickly with free postage, brilliantly packed. I was kept informed all the time and was contacted to confirm I had the boat and that all was okay. From an operation point of view , my advice is read the manual especially for the auto mode and app features. Take it to a local lake and spend afew hours getting used to it , in manual, auto and then the app. It is now very easy to use and intuitive. At 1st vs my old boat it felt abit overwhelming but customer support from Rippton was another level. I thought that 4 hoppers would be an issue with presentation of my rigs vs standard 2 hoppers. I tend to put rig in hopper vs hook release. Actually there was plenty of space to put ur rig in the hopper and get good presentation. The boat was easy to charge especially as you can charge them both inside and outside the boat. It was great not to need AA batteries to charge the controller. I did a 48hr session and still had power in both boat and controller, so impressed. The only 2 area that were a small minus, the hopper numbers don’t line up to the controller, I can’t see the reason for it but it’s fine when u get used to it, and only really something to be aware of in manual mode. The plastic edging above the hopper is abit cheap but again has no affect on the boat. It’s light and easy to carry, looks great, works great and the battery lasts for a long time . I really liked the fact that after delivery Rippton sent me some Rubber flaps to put in the hoppers to aid bait release , and stop anything getting stuck in the hopper hing. It’s a small change but made a big difference and showed that they listen to feedback. The app and Facebook page are a really interactive community, that I have enjoyed going on. The catchX looks great, it’s abit like a new Tesla to look at with space-aged frame, great lights front and back , using it at night was really easy even in manual. It gets a lot of attention on the bank. I am so pleased I purchased one and while it does not replace good water craft or guarantee more fish on the bank it’s a great bit of kit and worth every penny. Thank you Rippton
