Ridgemonkey Hunter 3000 Bait Boat

Bigger, faster and with more than 3 times the payload than the original Hunter 750, the Hunter 3000 is a class-leading powerhouse of a remote bait delivery system. Featuring our iconic single-handed controller, twin USB-C rechargeable batteries and a magnetic hopper cover, the top-loading Hunter 3000 offers the perfect blend of stealth, performance and bait capacity in a quiet and user-friendly package.

Despite the large 3kg+ bait capacity volume, the hydrodynamic outer design of the carbon-effect hull allows the Hunter 3000 to glide effortlessly through the water. The revered top-loading mechanism now features an electromagnetic opening hopper for a reliable, accurate and confident drop every time. Simply load your bait into the hopper and lock your rig into place with the securing arm before launching the boat into the water via the ergonomic handle. The included magnetic hopper cover securely fixes to the top of the boat to protect your exposed bait and rigs from wildlife, weather and debris on its way to your chosen spots. An LED power meter ensures the battery level is clearly displayed at all times and a bright series of front and rear lights help to orientate the boat at distance. A new ‘full-beam’ bright mode offers enhanced spotlight beams, perfect for illuminating a particular target area, navigating at extreme range or even locating the vessel in low-light weather conditions, such as fog and haze.

Operated by the ergonomic single-handed remote, it is easy to direct the boat to your chosen location whilst simultaneously controlling the line from your reel in the other hand. The remote even features a convenient ‘cruise control’ function for automatically powering forward in a straight line, particularly useful for efficiently piloting the boat accurately without fatigue. With an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance, you don’t have to worry about condensation or leaving it out on those wet nights, as long as the USB-C charging port is securely covered with the rubber cap. Conveniently, this is the same power input that the twin lithium polymer batteries require, meaning they can easily be recharged using the included 60W mains adapter or on the go with our range of Vault Power delivery devices (sold separately). All of the included parts fit neatly inside the carry case, with handy straps for easy and secure transportation.
