Bote Rover Aero: Inflatable Micro Skiff That Takes a 6hp Outboard
I check out the Bote Rover Aero, an inflatable version of the Rover micro skiff that can run a 6hp outboard and fit inside a car.
What’s in this video
This is the latest from Bote. The Rover Aero is a high end, durable inflatable micro skiff that can hold a 6hp outboard. It shares a lot of features with the hard board Rover, but it packs into a big rolling duffle bag so you can carry it inside your car.
It also comes with a battery powered electric pump, so you can inflate it off grid. If you want the hard board version, I have a video on that one too.
Quick takeaways
- It's rated to hold a 6hp outboard.
- It packs in a rolling duffle, so it travels inside a car instead of on a trailer.
- The included battery powered pump means you can inflate it off grid.
