You can't go wrong with the "yella fella" (nickname for the Ace 250). It is reliable, and if your kids get tired of it you can loan it out to a friend who might want to go dirtfishing with you. They last a long time on one set of batteries.

The GTI is also a good machine. Just keep at it, and the good stuff will come.
