Flip a Boat all boats — hull sizes & progression
Players searching Flip a Boat all boats want a clear map of every hull class in Flip a Boat — not a directory of unrelated guides. This page is that map: how Junkyard listings work, every confirmed size tier from beat-up 11ft starters to the 40ft center console with quad outboards, how repair cost scales, and when it is safe to step up.
Named wrecks rotate through the Junkyard, so this is not a frozen SKU catalog. Use the tier ladder + listing checklist every time you buy. Free Cash from code `release` (`10,000 Cash`) is best kept as a repair reserve. Verified July 24, 2026.

How Flip a Boat boat listings work
Every Flip a Boat boats purchase starts at the Junkyard. Inspect the wreck on the beach before you spend — the listing already tells you whether the project is finishable.
| Listing field | What it means | Buy only if… |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Cash spent immediately | You still keep a full repair reserve |
| Condition % | How much Mechanic Mode work remains | Parts estimate fits your Cash |
| Rarity | Sell / keep upside after restore | Margin still clears after parts |
| Outboard / parts estimate | South Marine bill floor | Estimate alone does not empty your wallet |
| Level requirement | Whether you can purchase yet | Your level meets the gate |
Read total cost, not sticker price
Cheap common hulls with single-digit condition can cost more overall than a pricier wreck that is already halfway restored. Add purchase price to the parts estimate before you commit.
One South Marine trip
Diagnose on the plot first, then buy every required Mechanical-tab part in one Marine Store run. Multiple trips waste time that should be spent closing the flip — details in the parts guide.
All Flip a Boat boat tiers (11ft → 40ft)
This is the all boats progression ladder confirmed for Flip a Boat. Exact model names rotate; size, outboard count, and capital needs do not.
| Tier | Typical size | Engines | Best for | Capital need |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 11ft | Single outboard | First flips · learn the loop | Low |
| Early | ~14–18ft class | Single / light twin | Faster Cash after starters | Low–mid |
| Mid-size | ~19–30ft | Larger / multi outboard | Main profit ladder | Mid |
| Large | Center console class | Multi outboard | High sell value · high parts bill | High |
| Endgame | 40ft center console | Quad outboards | Top listed hull size | Very high |
Starter — 11ft hulls
The official entry point. Fewest systems, shortest Mechanic Mode sessions, fastest feedback on whether your buy math works. Redeem codes first, then buy an 11ft project you can finish with Cash left over.
Early / mid-size projects
After a few clean starter sales, step into larger single-outboard or light multi-outboard hulls. Repair bills jump with size and condition — keep repeating profitable loops instead of skipping tiers.
Large & endgame center consoles
Large center consoles and the 40ft quad-outboard endgame demand serious working capital. Each extra outboard multiplies engine-bay work. Scale only when one unfinished project cannot strand your plot.
Example Junkyard wrecks (snapshot)
Community guides have logged sample listings so you can see how price, condition, rarity, and parts estimates appear together. Numbers move with patches — always re-check in-game.
| Example boat | Tier feel | What to notice |
|---|---|---|
| Bost Whale 13 Classic (~$1.5k · low condition · Common · Level 1+) | Starter / early | Cheap sticker still needs a parts reserve for ~2k+ outboard work |
| Hawes 19 Redcaster (~$65k class) | Mid-size | Mid cash buy — confirm condition + parts before committing |
| Salt and Flats 21 (~$110k · Uncommon · Level 11+) | Upper mid | Level gate + high buy price — only after a clean mid-tier loop |
Use examples as pattern recognition
Do not memorize these as “best boats.” Use them to practice reading total cost: sticker + parts + level gate. The same pattern applies to every new wreck that spawns.
Boat Manager All Boats tab
After restores, the Boat Manager computer’s All Boats style views help you sell or keep. Finish condition first; cosmetics are optional for pure Cash flips.
Engines, outboards & repair scaling
On Flip a Boat boats, engines are where most of the parts budget goes — especially once you leave single-outboard starters.
| Hull class | Typical outboard load | Repair implication |
|---|---|---|
| 11ft starter | Single outboard | Shortest mechanical pass — best for learning |
| Small / mid hulls | Single or light multi | Parts bill rises with condition damage |
| Large center console | Multiple outboards | Each motor needs its own inspection / replace cycle |
| 40ft endgame | Quad outboards | Highest engine CapEx — finish only with a full reserve |
Do not over-engine a tiny hull
Legendary or premium motors (community guides cite ultra-expensive options in the tens of thousands) can cost more than a small hull recovers at sale. Match engine spend to the boat’s sell class.
Mechanical before paint
Finish every flagged Mechanical system before Customization paint. Paint on a half-broken motor bay eats margin — full sequence in engine repair and parts & customization.
When to step up to the next boat tier
Progression on this all boats ladder is capital discipline, not FOMO.
- Do01You can finish the current tier without stranding half-repaired hulls
- Do02You keep a repair reserve after the buy click
- Do03Haul / trailer control feels automatic for the longer footprint
- Do04Sale margin stays clearly positive after parts
- Do05Level gates for the next listing are already unlocked
Stay on profitable loops
Speed comes from volume of finishable flips, not from owning the biggest wreck early. The money guide and complete flip pages reinforce that loop.
After rebirth
A rebirth reset sends you back through cheaper hulls with permanent bonuses. Re-climb the same ladder — do not jump straight to 40ft unless the live prompt and your reserve say you can. See rebirth.
Keep in fleet vs sell for Cash
Not every restored boat must leave the plot. Flip a Boat lets you sell for Cash or store standouts in your fleet.
| Goal | Decision | Customization spend |
|---|---|---|
| Grow Cash fast | Sell at full condition | Skip or minimize paint |
| Showpiece / favorite hull | Keep in fleet | Cosmetics OK after mechanical 100% |
| Unsure | Sell unless you love the build | Do not paint “just because” |
Sell timing
List from the Boat Manager as soon as required systems are green. Parking a finished flip while you tinker cosmetics freezes capital that should fund the next Junkyard buy.

Flip a Boat all boats FAQ
Where do I buy Flip a Boat boats?
The Junkyard. Inspect fully before buying — see the beginner guide for the first wreck.
Is there a complete named boat list?
Named wrecks rotate. Use the tier ladder + listing fields on this page; treat named examples as snapshots, not a permanent catalog.
Should I buy the biggest boat I can afford?
No. Buy the biggest boat you can finish with a repair reserve left. Jumping to 40ft early is the classic softlock.
How do repair costs scale?
With hull size, condition %, and outboard count. Engine work dominates — details in engine repair.
What about limited or premium hulls?
Treat them like any other listing: total cost vs restored sale value. A limited tag does not erase a bad parts bill.
