The GoBoat 1.0 body is made from high-density polyethylene plastic with a heavy-duty PVC tube.

A transom mount trolling motor with 30 lbs to 55 lbs thrust and a 24 – 36 inch shaft is recommended. When purchasing a trolling motor, you will need to do a transom-to-bow mount conversion. This is easily done by removing the screw below the motor controller, rotating the controller 180 degrees on the shaft, and then replacing the screw.

Any 12V Group 27 or U1 battery will work. A Group 27 battery is larger and heavier but will last longer on the water.

The GoBoat 1.0 weighs 47 lbs without the motor and battery.

The GoBoat 1.0 is rated for up to 300 lbs.

The tube doesn't seal to the body of the boat, so a small amount of water will be in the footwell. To help reduce this, tighten the straps snugly and wear appropriate water shoes.

Since the GoBoat is a motorized watercraft, it may need to be registered in your state. You will need to check your local boating regulations if you plan on using it on a lake or other state body of water. All the appropriate paperwork is included in your packet shipped with the GoBoat.

Yes, it is very safe. In the case of a tube failure and it loses air, the body will float. Always wear an appropriate life preserver for your safety.

Yes, water won't harm a 12V battery or cause electrocution. The battery does, however, need to be a sealed battery to prevent water from getting inside it.

The GoBoat tube is made of a 1 mil thick PVC tube. While it is a thick tube, it is not puncture-proof. In case of a puncture, a provided patch kit comes with every GoBoat. If you lose the patch kit, we can provide you with another, or you can use an appropriate patch kit normally used for inflatable kayaks.
