GoBoat Double Wave Inflatable Boat Review: $2,699 + Battery

The GoBoat Double Wave is a $2,699 inflatable boat designed around a built-in electric motor, plus a wheeled backpack for transport. The battery isn’t included. Setup is claimed to take about five minutes after practice. The boat can operate in freshwater and saltwater, though the company notes different performance and corrosion-resistance procedures by environment. A 12V motor requires a compatible deep-cycle or lithium marine battery, adding roughly $150 to $300 depending on capacity and chemistry. With a 450 lb maximum load, two 200 lb adults leave little remaining weight for battery, cooler, fishing gear, and safety equipment. Top speed is about 5 mph, and manufacturer guidance limits use to lakes, bays and shorelines, not open water or rivers with current.
