Description:
This boat is as a part of the newer norwegian pilot boats. Its fitted with two aircraft engine with max rps of 28. When the boat is in neutral, the battery is charging by two medium generators. When in either long range mode or high speed mode the battery will go down. With 8000 units of fuel at your disposal, you have the option to do most missions at fuel effiency that will favour you. either go slow at 20 m/s with range maybe up to 140km or you can have fun at 36 knots for about 15-20km. That is all up to you. Interiour is not yet fitted propely and engine room is not complete. but cockpit/bridge and assecories is fitted. The boat now self straightining, which means that if you were unlucky to tip over. The boat will automaticly tip itself back in its hull as it should be.

Manouvering:
When traveling under 8 m/s the all fins and rudder is disabled and the propellers turn up to 18 degrees. When traveling above this speed, all fins and rudders are enabled. The reason for this solution is to have more precision driving at slow speed and comfort high speed travel. Bow thruster is also at your disposal. The plan is to fit what is known as Volvo Pentas IPS Docking system, but will see how it works out.

Hope you enjoy the boat. And leave a comment on your experience with it.
