How to Get a Motor on an Inflatable Boat? Everything You Need for under $700

An inflatable fishing boat is convenient primarily because you can pack it and tuck it away almost anywhere. Most come with just ores and you will have to do a lot of work to get where you want. There are engines that you can put on them that make things easier. Your standard inflatable boat won't come with them so you will need to buy something that is aftermarket.

This motor bracket will allow you to put up to 110lbs of motor weight on the back. That should be enough to get you a few horse power. Maybe not enough to hydroplane but definitely enough to get around get some fishing done.

Easy to install and capable of pushing a few people around you will find that it is convenient and worthwhile investment. Plug it into the top and bottom brackets and you are all set. Electric and gas motors work equally as well.

You can get a boat for about $300, a Bracket for under $100 and a Motor for $250 leaving you with a new boat $650.
