Generic Motorboats, Small and Large
These are two generic motorboats that might be found around the world, especially in Europe and Asia. Both boats use petrol engines, but diesel variants are also given.
The small motorboat has no dedicated cargo space, but does have over
1,000 lbs of free weight for gear to be tied to the deck or lashed to the
sides. However, it has very few military applications (but might be used
by fleeing PCs) due to its small size. The large motorboat is a bit more
capable, able to carry about a squad of soldiers (or commandos) and their
gear, and a bit faster.
Both motorboats have a crew of one. The small boat uses 2.2 gallons
per hour at routine usage, the large one 5 gallons per hour.
