Buying guide
Inflatable boat buying guide.
Battle Cat or Battle Boat?
The Battle Cat has two pontoons for a wider, steadier stance, so it suits fishing, standing, diving and family days. The Battle Boat is a V-style inflatable with the classic tender feel for yacht duty and getting to shore. Same sizes, same prices, same drop-stitch floor.
Pick your size
The 8 ft carries 2 people and 600 lb and fits a trunk or a yacht locker. The 10 ft carries 4 people and 1,000 lb and is the size most families pick. The 12 ft carries 4 people and 1,200 lb with the most deck and up to 20 hp.
Pick a motor
Every Rover has a 15 in transom, so it takes a short-shaft outboard, gas or electric. Stay under the max motor for your size: 6 hp on the 8 ft, 10 hp on the 10 ft, 20 hp on the 12 ft.
Registration
Rover Marine boats are MIC certified with the US Coast Guard, and the DMV paperwork is mailed to you after your order. Registration and operator rules differ by state and by whether the boat is motorized, so check your state boating agency.
Where to use it
Lakes, harbors, bays, protected coastal water and inland waterways in calm to moderate conditions. It is a tender and a day boat, not an offshore rough-water boat.
Look after it
Rinse it after salt water, dry it before you pack it and store it out of the sun. Every Rover ships with a repair kit.
