    Abstract: The present invention provides for a remotely controlled water borne device to retrieve downed waterfowl. The device is shaped as a catamaran styled boat with twin hulls to allow the water and debris to flow through the device rather than under the device. The device is propelled through the water with twin electric airplane motors and propellers powered by onboard battery packs to prevent vegetation and other debris from becoming entwined on any underwater appurtenances. The device is steered by a remote control transmitter which turns the direction of the electric motors themselves rather than having rudders which can be affected by the atmospheric wind. The speed and direction of the device are variable by the use of the remote transmitter. The device is outfitted with a retrieval basket which rotates in an up and down position by remote control to retrieve the downed waterfowl.
