Does anyone have any creative/ unusual ways for retrieving their boat? My favorite is the racquet ball on the fishing line, but just wondering if anyone has anything different?

Nothing too fancy.

Instead of a ball, I like to use a fairly heavy top water fishing lure with the hooks removed. That way you can sling it out there a good ways and the line doesn't twist up if you don't hook it.

I've went so far as to install a noose on one of my electro boats. But what a lot of my buddies will do is to take the electro boats out with their fishing line attached, run around the stalled boat a time or two and then reel them both in. Thats one of the most effective ways I've seen.

Other than that, I like to use this:

I either wade out (only used my boat in shallow water so far) or use a set of bamboo canes lashed together with cable ties with a hook attatched to the end.

If? there are other boats,one gadget I have seen is a square 'S' shape made from plastic tube (water piping) filled with foam so it floats. A boat fits in one section of the 'S' and picks up the stalled boat.

nice way too, and the building is self explanatory

I have an eletc. boat to which I hook about 10 ft. fishline to with a bobber attached. You just circle the boat and the line gets caught an the drive, and then bact to shore.

Ingenious. I like that one.

Edit... Strong honorable mention to the all-wood outboard up there, too... nice one PHCM!
( It's a bit large to throw in the trunk with the RC's though )
