The Motor Boat, also spelled Motorboat,[1][2] is a basic motor boat with a wooden design, a barrel-like seat, and life-preserver on the tip. It is the weakest and slowest of the four vehicles leased by Funky Kong in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. The Motor Boat is the only vehicle available from the start. The Motor Boat can only reach a path leading to Lake Orangatanga and Kremwood Forest and a nearby secret cave, Bounty Beach. By pressing X Button while in the Motor Boat, the vehicle will honk.

The player's Motor Boat is equipped with a machine gun that is used to defeat the Kremlings and their boats.
