The Motorboat is a Vehicle that allows for transportation on water. The Motorboat's surface is useful for establishing a mobile base, seeing as Structures , Beds , and Containers can be placed directly on top, though Foundations must be used to build some Structures upon it such as Walls .

Limitations [ ]

• Structure limit: 135 (On private servers or in single player the limit can be increased via PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier )
• Height limit: Survivors can build up to 8 walls high above the raft, and up to 80 walls below it.
• Size limit: 13x13 (discluding the corners)

Notes/Trivia [ ]

• If a Baryonyx stuns the Survivor driving the Motorboat whilst the Motorboat is moving forwards, it will continue to drive forward without a driver.

Changelog [ ]

• 2 Broodmother Lysrix
• 3 Megapithecus

Fat Frog's Swamp Gas Gaming

Sunday, february 27, 2022, motorboat vs raft - ark survival evolved.

The raft is an awesome way to explore a map in Ark Survival Evolved in relative safety, as long as you avoid Leeds and swamps infested with various crocodile-like animals.   You can turn a humble raft into a compact and capable base.   After years I finally got a look at the motorboat .   It sort of snuck in under my radar and I discovered it there in my list of engrams.

Just like a raft, you can build on it, either by just placing campfires, storage boxes, etc. right on it, or you can put foundations down and build a proper base.   As a mobile base, the motorboat would be great, especially on maps with a lot of water access, which is about half.  

Resources to Craft the Motorboat

• 1,200 Metal Ingots
• 150 Obsidian
• 400 Polymer
• 60 Black Pearls

On the Ragnarok map this thing could really shine.  The cost is full lined with metal nodes.  Using the motorboat as a cargo ship could be really useful, and pay for the 1,200 metal ingots it costs in short order.  The motorboat might be useful on the Island map too for hauling wood or stone around the coast.  The Island doesn’t have any really fast beasts of burden. 

I play PvE and I really don’t have much practical use for the Ark motorboat, by the time I can learn the engram. By that time I have enough dinos for harvesting and transport.   However, maybe it will be time for a video series living on a raft, and then a motorboat.   Hmmm.

What is the speed of a Motorboat?

By jawaking , August 7, 2017 in General Discussion

Apologies if the answer is somewhere and I'm clogging up the forums, but basic google and ark wiki searches aren't helping.

I was wondering what the base speed of the motor boat is. I'm trying to decide if I want to build a motor boat or use a water dino with a platform saddle to transport supplies to locations near water that are being raided. I'm aware that water dino's have the advantage of going underwater for cover and are stealthier, but boats have turrets and don't need to be fed. Also just trying to figure out whats the fastest in case the supply station needs to be moved about a lot.

There's a load of youtube videos of some random guys talking about how much faster it is than the other boat and stuff, and using a stop watch to time themselves. I was hoping to get a definitive answer on this. Does anyone know where I should look other than the wiki for ARK? Is there a theorycrafting website for ARK that I should be checking up like Elitist Jerks for WoW back in the Vanilla days? (cudos to you if you get the reference).

Well all i can say is if your on a motorboat your safe frome leeds

SmashNcrabs

It's quicker than a Raft, Leeds can't damage it (except Alpha leeds) and it can reverse.

100% worth the mats to get one.
