my dad is retired in the coast gaurd.

I agree 100% best career boat

Okay i found a fix for the overheating, you can simply put a large radiator on the engine bay and by pass the fluid cooling, this will make the temp hoover in the mid 60's on hydro mode.

ofc you'll have to mek it look pretty but it works.

engines died once i turn on overdrive

read warning hehe he made it before some update

Sets itself on fire after enabling hydrofoil mode

I really love that starter boat! Im using it all the time! :)
I just wish there would be an upgraded version like a Mk.2 or something like that, that improved on the heating and the other little stuff (like the WAY too bright lights xD). Can be even a bit bigger or more expensive :)

the boat was made before the update that causes salt water to dmg engines and nerfed engine cooling so you will need to watch the temp when running the hydrofoil otherwise it will overheat

so that why it keep destroying itself with a full tank worth of hydrofoil i keep toggling that on/off :S
are you pershape using salt water in the engine has coolent ?

ill give this a four star for its affordability and functionality, good job.

nope no beacon finder, during the challenge I couldn't fit it in the budget

Is there no beacon finder, or am I just not seeing it?

oh Im blind

the hose anchor under the D beside the cabin door

How do you refuel on it?

All right. Glad its fixed.

The game update broke every creation that has empty fluid tanks in it, everything is fixed now. Also the boat already had a passive bilge system built into the cabin. Driving is just simply holding w to go forwards s to go backwards, please do not re-upload this

If you give permission I can upload my fixed and tweaked version with a credit reference back to here.

I think the change in the game to having freshwater as a resource pumped things around the tanks inside the ship. Two of them should be on desiel but only one was. The many tanks along the side I emptied of seawater and could get speed again.

Question: Trying to stay on manual helm to move around at first the W mode seems to just leave the engines at low RPM. The control says about holding down will start reverse mode. If I take my hand off the W the boat slows down. Could you explain a bit about how to move in basic non-hydrofoil mode?
Question 2: There are a lot of unconnected large tanks filled with seawater. Is that as intended or did a game update change that on you?

Trying this out since changing environmental mods means restarting.
= In this case there was waves in the starter dock washing over the back that could let water into the pilot house. If unchecked the cycle of waves adding weight lower boat letting next wave put on more was a gonna sink her.
= Found that it was only a minor budget to add in the pilot house rear port corner a fluid port > pump > enclosed pipes > to the outer deck > fluid valve (out only) > fluid port. A toggle button to control pump and electricity for pump and button. Now I could manually deflood the pilot cabin. Recommend this as an update.
= Personal variance on the handeld at the center column adding a flashlight, a small empty (to recharge current flashlight) and a compass.

how do go fast

Great boat

fantastic little boat. I have done most the career with this boat alone. easy to run. has nice cruise feature. pretty stable in low speed on high seas. I did take off some stuff on the roof and moved the lights lower to be able to search for people in the water without the glare. also add a heater if your moving it up north

Looks neat.
