As long as you are not going to hunt IN the water I would say the ACE 250. Even with that one you can hunt very shallow, my daughter does, just don't get the control box wet! I have no experience with the others.

Hi.

I have the F4 which does great in dry sand and land too but POORLY in wet sand.

For wet sand I use a White's Surf PI which is great, especially if you like to dig deep!

Hope that helps.

Like mumsie, I have the Ace 250 that works great in the sand and you can take it into shallow water, but make sure the contol housing stays dry. It you get it wet there is a good possibility of shorting the unit out and then you have scrap metal :-[ It's my opinion that for the money the Ace is the best all round machine.
