Thanks.** A: Hi, If you plan to use any type of motor with this inflatable boat, you will need to register it with the state.

Best, -NV Team **Q: The photo for the Baja shows only a single seat but the description says it comes with 2 ?** A: Our Baja (11ft 9in) inflatable boat will include two aluminum bench seats with the boat. All smaller models will only come with one bench seat. Best, NV Team **Q: Did I make a mistake by buying the new Honda 2.3 for this boat?** A: Hi, Not necessarily! It depends on how much weight will be in the boat and what you will be using it for. A 2.3hp motor is a great choice for traveling short distances and light enough for you to transport easily. If you are looking to travel at fast speeds and get on plane, 2.3hp will not be enough to achieve this. Hopefully this information helps!
