LEGO City 4643 Power Boat Transporter was released in 2011 and depicts a transport setup for a racing power boat in a harbor context.
Power Boat Transporter sits within LEGO City Harbor and focuses on moving a racing boat rather than building a fixed dockside structure. Its subject links road transport, maritime activity and recreational competition, making it a useful connector between street based City layouts and waterfront scenes.
The blue Octan jumpsuits and red caps establish a consistent racing team identity. Without adding undocumented mechanisms, the build can be described as a transporter with a power boat load and dedicated crew figures.
It suits play and display layouts that include a harbor, coastal road, service area or racing setup. On display, it can act as a transition model between land and water. For play, it offers a direct scenario: prepare the boat, move it to the launch area and stage a race. In a City collection, it represents the Harbor branch’s emphasis on transport, work and waterside activity.
