Hi all,

We have the Blueboat and we want to update the firmware from 4.5.5 to 4.5.7, but I miss the type: Surface Boat?!

Hi @Willem,

Boats are constrained to move on a surface, so are a [variant of the “Rover” firmware](https://ardupilot.org/rover/docs/boat-configuration.html) 🙂

I agree that’s not clear from the information on that page, so I’ve [raised an Issue](https://github.com/bluerobotics/BlueOS/issues/3234) to suggest an improvement of what gets displayed. Thanks for letting us know that part of the experience is confusing 🙂
