FAQ
Have questions? We’ve answered the most common ones below to help you choose the right boat and get on the water faster.
What's the difference between the Battle Boat and the Battle Cat?
The Battle Boat features a traditional inflatable hull design, while the Battle Cat uses a catamaran-style dual-pontoon layout for increased stability, better tracking, and a wider deck.
What size should I choose — 10ft or 12ft?
Both sizes hold up to 4 people. Choose the 12ft if you want extra space, added weight capacity (up to 1100 lbs), and compatibility with motors up to 15hp. The 10ft is more compact, lightweight, and easier to transport.
Can I use an electric motor?
Yes — all Battle Boat and Battle Cat models are compatible with popular electric outboards like ePropulsion and Torqeedo. Just ensure you're using a short shaft (15") motor.
How long does it take to inflate the boat?
With a high-output pump, each boat can be inflated in about 10–15 minutes. The floor inflates to 10 PSI, while the side pontoons inflate to 3.5 PSI.
Can I deflate and store it easily?
Absolutely. Both boats pack down to fit in most car trunks or boat lockers (approx. 46" x 28–30" x 15"). They're designed for easy transport and storage.
What’s the hull made of?
Our inflatables are built from military-grade PVC with reinforced seams and drop-stitch flooring for superior durability and rigidity.
Is the Battle Cat more stable?
Yes — the catamaran hull gives the Battle Cat better lateral stability, especially in chop or when stepping on/off the boat from the water or dock.
Is this a good tender for a larger boat?
Yes, both models are excellent yacht tenders. They're lightweight, easy to launch, and support outboards for quick trips to shore.
Can I fish or dive from these boats?
Definitely. Both platforms are great for fishing, freediving, or casual scuba. The Battle Cat's wider stance makes it especially good for standing or loading gear.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, all Rover Marine inflatables come with a standard 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects.
