This is the smallest in the Viper bait boat range.  It’s bigger brother, the MK3, has a much bigger hopper (2.5k compared to 1kg). So, is this boat just another small fish, swimming in a sea of bigger fish? The answer is “No”, this boat excels. 

The Viper Icon bait boat has everything else that the larger MK3 has; quick agile turning, jet propulsion and all the Viper accessories, but it costs £250 less. Now, I know the extra large hopper is ideal, but if you are looking to save some money this boat is a great option.  I personally have this boat and the 1KG hopper has always been fine.  It does mean that I have to run a few extra trips, but the price for this boat compared to it’s competitors in the same field is ideal.
