How the builder works

Build it in 3D, drive it, then send it to the shop

This is the same Patriot that leaves the shop in Vidor, Texas, modeled from the shop's own engineering files. Paint every part, pick the engine and the prop, bolt on the options, then take it out on the water and run the course.

When it looks right, send it. A person at Patriot reviews every build before it gets a quote.

Rather fill out a form? Use the build your airboat form, or call 409-422-0006.

Questions about the 3D builder

Is the 3D airboat builder free to use?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no account and nothing to download.

Does the builder show a price?

No. Every Patriot is built to order, and a person reviews each build before it gets a quote. Send your build to Patriot to get a number.

Can I get a different hull length or seating layout?

Yes. Patriot builds different hull lengths for different jobs. The builder shows an 18 by 8 hull with 3-up seating, so put the length and seating you want in your message when you send the build.

Which engines can I pick in the builder?

The LT4 6.2L, the Levitator 7.4L, the Duramax 6.6L, and the AirPac 6.2L. Details on each are on the airboat engines page.

Does the builder work on a phone?

Yes. On phones and tablets, drive mode switches to touch pads for throttle and steering. It needs a browser with WebGL, which current phone and computer browsers support.

Where are Patriot airboats built?

In Vidor, Texas, at 810 Edgewood St. Patriot delivers to all 50 states. Call 409-422-0006.
