The Motorboat is a deployable vehicle item that creates a motorboat when placed in the water. It serves as a practical transport option for crossing seas, rivers, and large lakes on maps where aquatic travel is necessary.
Spawn it directly to your inventory using its GFI code. Once you have it, place it in water to deploy the motorboat. The item itself does not stack, so each motorboat requires its own inventory slot.
