'WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT IT!'
Strengths:
Distance of radio coverage.
manouverability.
accuracy.
silent.
Prevents casting into trees!

Weaknesses:
Cost.
Weight.
Battery life.
Overall:
Really good bit of kit, I'm sure the "anti-baitboat league" don't realise the full potential of these boats. It hasn't affected my skills, I still cast and feature find when I can but use the boat if snags are a danger.

'EXCELLENT -BUT SHORT BATTERY LIFE'
Strengths:
Reliable. Good load carrying capacity
Weaknesses:
Short battery life. Particles and maggots can spill through gaps in hoppers.
Overall:
I have been using my Microcat for 3 years now with no problems other than the depth sounder going out of calibration. Battery consumption is heavy and I have fitted mine with more powerful batteries 2x10Amphour. The microcat is a big improvement on my home built boat (1980) but then it ran for ages on one 4 amphour battery!
