What it's for

A small but versatile vessel, the motorboat can cross great distances in the blink of an eye thanks to its powerful engine.

Produces

Cod

The motorboat is a small 2x6 fishing boat for the Fishing area that turns a single corn into several kinds of fish at once, oysters, mussels and shrimp together for instance. It's the cheapest boat in its class and you can buy it in the shop from the very moment you start playing the Fishing area. It works best as your first fishing building, the one you start building a varied range of seafood with. At just 12,000 dollars even a beginner can afford it.

When to build it

You can build it from the first moment the Fishing area is open to you, because level 1 has no player level requirement. Given the low price and the small 2x6 footprint it's worth putting up straight away and filling the production queue right off. One is enough to get going, adding more fishing vessels only makes sense as your need for different kinds of fish grows.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading clearly pays off here, the yield of each good grows from 11 to 29 per batch, so almost triple, while the production time only stretches by an hour. The price does climb steeply, from 12,000 up to 2,432,000 dollars at the top level, but unlocking further levels is tied to player levels 24 through 44, so the upgrades naturally spread out across your progress through the game.

Tip from a veteran player The input is still just one corn no matter the level, so it pays to push the level up as soon as you can, you get far more fish for the same cost in goods.

Most common mistake Players often write it off as a throwaway starter boat and leave it at level 1, when this is exactly where the ratio of investment to yield increase is one of the best in the whole fishing line.
