Flip a Boat Wiki
Your complete Roblox guide to buying, restoring, and flipping boats for profit.
What Is Flip a Boat?
Flip a Boat is a boat restoration and flipping simulator on Roblox, developed by PolyCore Games and released in July 2026. Players buy wrecked hulls from the scrapyard, haul them to a personal workshop on a truck and trailer, install new outboards and electronics from South Marine, and sell restored vessels for profit. The loop mirrors real-world boat flipping: assess damage, budget parts, invest labor, and list the finished product at a markup.
Unlike arcade boating games focused purely on racing or fishing, Flip a Boat emphasizes economics and craftsmanship. Every project has a purchase price, a parts bill, and a resale value shaped by hull size, engine tier, cosmetic condition, and installed electronics. Starter skiffs around eleven feet teach the basics, while forty-foot center-console yachts demand serious capital and careful planning. Trucks and trailers are essential infrastructure—you cannot restore what you cannot transport.
PolyCore Games has not published an official wiki or Trello at launch, which makes community resources like this site valuable for tracking codes, control bindings, shop inventories, and early meta strategies. The official Discord at discord.com/invite/flipaboat is the best place for patch notes, developer announcements, and player trade chatter.

Beginner Quick Start
New players can reach their first profitable flip within a single session by following a tight loop. The game rewards methodical planning over random spending, so treat these steps as a checklist rather than optional suggestions.

- 2 Purchase an affordable eleven-foot starter hull from the scrapyard and tow it to your workshop with the default truck and trailer.
- 3 Install a budget outboard and minimal electronics from South Marine, using engine on/off, throttle, and trim controls to test seaworthiness.
- 4 List the restored boat for sale, bank the profit, and reinvest into a larger hull such as a center-console in the twenty-five to forty-foot range.

Boats and Tier List
Flip a Boat spans a wide size ladder from compact eleven-foot starter boats to imposing forty-foot center-console platforms styled after real-world brands like Boston Whaler and Grady-White. Smaller hulls flip quickly with lower risk but capped margins. Larger yachts require premium Mercury Verado 350 or Yamaha XTO outboards and full electronics suites before buyers pay top dollar.
Parts and South Marine
Restoration quality depends on what you bolt onto the hull. Outboard motors range from entry-level units suitable for skiffs to high-horsepower Yamaha XTO and Mercury Verado 350 engines that define late-game flips. Electronics—fish finders, GPS plotters, VHF radios, and lighting—add resale value disproportionate to their purchase cost when bundled on premium boats.
Controls Overview
Driving boats and towing trailers use separate control schemes. On the water you manage engine on/off, throttle, trim, and a side panel for auxiliary systems. On land, truck and trailer handling determine whether your project hull arrives at the workshop intact. Misjudging a dock approach or trailer backup angle can add repair costs that erase profit.
Map and Locations
The Flip a Boat map connects four essential zones: the scrapyard where damaged boats are purchased, your personal workshop where installations happen, South Marine where parts are sold, and the waterways used for sea trials and deliveries. Efficient routing between these locations saves real time when chaining multiple flips per session.

The profit calculator helps you estimate whether a wreck is worth buying before you commit cash. Enter purchase price, planned parts, and expected resale based on hull tier to see projected margin and break-even thresholds. Pair calculator results with tier list data to avoid traps where repair costs exceed market value.
