To find the average speed of the boat during the one-hour trip, we need to calculate the total distance traveled by the boat and divide it by the total time taken.

Total distance traveled = 80.0 km + 60.0 km = 140.0 km 
Total time taken = 1 hour

Average speed = Total distance traveled / Total time taken 
             = 140.0 km / 1 hour 
             = 140 km/h

Therefore, the boat's average speed during the one-hour trip is 140 km/h.
