Big Buffalo, I have to tell you about the first and only one of these I have seen in person. I went in to the local hobby shop, and the owner takes me aside to show me something..Here is a giant ugly block of cheap foam SORTA shaped like a boat, but it mainly looks like a alot like a big foam ice cooler. They had just smeared resin of some sort over it, and the basic look of the thing was a dirty cooler that had been pinned under a log in the river about two years. They were having trouble keeping it working, so the guys at the shop were taking it on as a project.

The best part of the whole thing was the motor battery setup. it had a giant chunk gutted out of the center of the boat, and there was a car battery dropped down in it, then a nasty old transom on the back with a full size trolling motor with a butchered handle controlled by one or two 1/4 scale servos.. it was a piece of work.. Until seeing your pics I didn't even realize such a nice setup exsisted. I have heard its popular to run bait up by dams where they won't let you fish...

P.S. I never minded catching carp, its great fun ! I wish I could find a few catfishing buddies..especially if they had some spots..Just catch and release makes it worth doing !
