Here is a fixed version, since the current one does not have any cooling or clutch.

Axolotl_Person 22 Jul, 2023 @ 3:11pm

where are the ropes,and how to control FRONT winch?

Illy [author] 14 Jan, 2023 @ 10:53am

I guess they changed the cost of stuff since I built it

Personalless 13 Jan, 2023 @ 8:06pm

not 15k, its 21k so you still need to find a crate if you spawn with 20k

Cap10_Nade 25 Sep, 2022 @ 1:00pm

I love it (I repainted it and bought some more gear) but unfortunately I kill the propeller in the small starter base after 9 out of 10 spawns – when I try to gently drive out of the dock.

This is not a starter boat. 90% endgame parts.
Starter boat is that boat who can do build in Classic career. :P

oops 19 Feb, 2021 @ 8:48pm

since update There is a problem that the speed does not increase because the power is not transmitted properly. maximum speed is 100 ~ 120

Illy [author] 19 Feb, 2021 @ 1:54pm

Oh no, what happened to it? :(

oops 19 Feb, 2021 @ 5:17am

Half broken. Since engine module update

it is Illy.

Illy [author] 13 Feb, 2021 @ 4:20am

Nah

tomwashere 12 Feb, 2021 @ 6:40pm

is this a jojo reference?

Illy [author] 3 Feb, 2021 @ 12:57pm

That's a good idea, I'll look into it if I get time. Thanks

baygamesngoh 3 Feb, 2021 @ 4:19am

Any chance you could release your map/beacon as a stand alone unit? Really loving that. Personally I have a few issues running this creation and would love to move your map to another vehicle.

Thanks :)

Illy [author] 26 Nov, 2020 @ 2:25am

Kinda but not really, the hydrofoils retract so you can go up a beach or something, but nothing rough and not with vehicle damage on. You can add ski's if you want to go on land properly. I'm working on an amphibious version :)

Gristle 25 Nov, 2020 @ 8:14am

Does this work on land?

Illy [author] 23 Nov, 2020 @ 1:23am

That's not covered under warranty, but you can try it :P

Illy [author] 19 Nov, 2020 @ 1:32pm

The key works as a breaker.

EchoVapo 19 Nov, 2020 @ 12:24pm

Is there a breaker anywheres?

Illy [author] 18 Nov, 2020 @ 9:41pm

It's fixed to a constant number in one of the MCs.

KKlove7 18 Nov, 2020 @ 8:38pm

How do you angle the propellers?

Illy [author] 17 Nov, 2020 @ 11:45am

I didn't really design it for that but you can connect it with two ropes at the front and two hoses at the back. You can use the remote to get BUZZ hovering above the hovercraft.

deepdarkindeliblegreen 17 Nov, 2020 @ 11:41am

I had some trouble connecting it to the buzz to fly it around any tips?

Illy [author] 17 Nov, 2020 @ 5:42am

Updated to stop the flickering starter when cold-starting. Thanks to @Talia Kuznetsova (Snugglisan~).

Please give a thumbs up if you're enjoying it :)

FiveOh6 16 Nov, 2020 @ 9:10pm

This is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much!

Oiadine 16 Nov, 2020 @ 10:33am

this is a starter vehicle, this question has been asked before v

illy might make a non starter hoverboat or a smaller one with less features that has obstacle avoidance, but right now obstacle avoidance would put it over the limit.

Illy [author] 16 Nov, 2020 @ 2:47am

This was part of NJs community challenge which unfortunately banned amphibious entries. After the challenge I plan to release a new version (with higher cost) with skis or wheels on the bottom to properly enable ground travel.

CMDR Sweeper 16 Nov, 2020 @ 2:11am

@Oiad: Yes and no, if you have vehicle damage off and in slow mode, you can somewhat move on land, but turning is tricky though, and you will feel the hydrofoils catch.
With damage it is a big fat no, you will bang up the hull in no time and most likely sink when you reenter the water.

Oiadine 15 Nov, 2020 @ 7:02pm

question: is this thing able to move on land? probably a dumb question, but still

Illy [author] 14 Nov, 2020 @ 11:26pm

Thanks :)

doge with gun 14 Nov, 2020 @ 4:14pm

impressive

Illy [author] 14 Nov, 2020 @ 3:51pm

Not within this budget, sorry. I tried but the laser distance sensor and pivot used too much power and generators are expensive! The 15k budget was a strict part of the challenge.

Illy [author] 13 Nov, 2020 @ 8:24am

Yes that would help, it just adds a lot to the cost, since generators are very expensive

Coster9258 13 Nov, 2020 @ 8:13am

This is excellent. You've got high speed and long range travel with this.
The only thing I added was three additional generators directly on the engine.

Illy [author] 13 Nov, 2020 @ 6:23am

Thanks for the feedback! I've updated it to fix the missing window in the cabin which also makes it a bit more robust in heavy seas (since the cabin is now water tight again)

ekultm 12 Nov, 2020 @ 9:47pm

Damn bro smashed it again

2ndVariable 12 Nov, 2020 @ 8:12pm

Well I don't think anyone else has a chance of winning ;-; xD

Deathfox666 12 Nov, 2020 @ 8:03pm

a very good starter boat just a bit unstable with high waves but works well

that_frog_kurtis 12 Nov, 2020 @ 7:49pm

Watch it get disqualified because "a 70 year old wouldn't recognise it as a boat"
