What size motor can I run?
The 8ft is rated up to 6 HP, the 10ft up to 10 HP, and the 12ft up to 20 HP. All sizes use a short-shaft 15-inch outboard. Always confirm the product plate and local regulations before mounting a motor.
Which electric motors fit the Battle Boat?
Short-shaft electric outboards such as ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 and Torqeedo Travel models are commonly paired with 15-inch transom inflatable boats. Visit the Electric Outboard Motors collection or contact us before ordering.
Which size should I choose?
Choose the 8ft for solo trips, tight storage, and the lightest tender setup. Choose the 10ft for the best all-around use. Choose the 12ft for maximum capacity, deck space, and power.
How many people can it carry?
The 8ft carries 2 people or 600 lb. The 10ft carries 4 people or 1,000 lb. The 12ft carries 4 people or 1,200 lb.
How long does inflation take?

What comes in the box?
The package includes the inflatable Battle Boat, a dual-action manual pump, 2 aluminum paddles, seat bench or benches by size, and a repair kit. The motor is sold separately.
Is the Battle Boat saltwater safe?
Yes. The Battle Boat is built for freshwater and saltwater use. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and allow the boat to dry before storage.
