Motorboat Operators
How motorboat operators are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Motorboat Operators is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: The top work activities are overwhelmingly physical, led by Operating Vehicles, Mechanized Devices, or Equipment (4.58), Inspecting Equipment (4.11), and Repairing and Maintaining Mechanical Equipment (3.70). The work context confirms a hands-on physical environment, citing Outdoors, Exposed to All Weather Conditions (4.26). While navigation and autopilot software (segment 43) account for a third of the tools, the primary value-delivery remains entirely physical vessel operation.

The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
