Please read instructions! This boat is performance/FPS friendly and career ready!

TRN Islander 3 XL - Model Number IS3 - Extended 3rd Generation Hull "Piscataqua" - 1st Generation Pure Diesel Drivetrain

I present the TRN Islander 3 XL, the 3rd product in my line of Islander boats, and the largest yet. Compared to the Islander 1 and 2, the Islander 3 boasts a bridge rework, extended frame, increased passenger capacity, increased range, and more creature comforts, whilst still retaining the classic Islander aesthetic and the astounding functionality that is expected from an Islander. This is all thanks to the capability and versatility of my Islander platform.

The Islander is a medium passenger transport vessel with a long range, designed to ferry passengers back and forth between islands, the mainland, and outlying bases, like oil rigs. It can also be used for tours, thanks to its great visibility. It is also capable of some rescue missions, with its winches, fire hose outlets, and huge stores of equipment. The Islander can also complete extremely long journeys and can make multiple Sawyer/Arctic round trips on a single tank of fuel. It also copes incredibly well with extreme weather and waves, thanks to its high air intakes, low propellors and rudder, and low centre of gravity. The Islander 3 XL is optimised for long-range, high density passenger transportation operations, and transitions effortlessly between river, lake and open ocean operations.

Advised top speed is 22km/h with a range of 500-600km. Cabin capacity is 84 passengers and 6 crew, or 78 passengers and 12 crew (using the bridge seats for crew). No outside standing room when cruising. Diesel fuel only.

Features:
- Custom combined throttle and clutch, my best yet, taken from my TRN 100 and Islander 2 XT
- Custom depth alert system that sounds a buzzer on a timer
- Custom engine alert systems that sound a buzzer when certain conditions are met
- Custom automatic heating system that switches on below 12°C (can be switched off via a circuit breaker if not needed to save energy)
- Custom refuelling circuit and microcontroller to save space
- Custom position lights blinker system and microcontroller
- Custom winch systems with microcontroller
- Stats display (not my own)
- Touchscreen autopilot/navigation display with keyboard to enter exact waypoints (not my own)
- Touchscreen radio with 999 possible channels (not my own)
- Water depth display (not my own)
- Well positioned cabin lighting with guidance floor lights
- Bilge pump system
- Custom winch systems that can be used to tow other boats
- Curved cabin windows allow for incredible visibility, even right upwards into the sky
- Open and airy front seating area allows for almost panoramic views
- Lots of rope anchors and ropes allow for the boat to be tied up in whatever way is most convenient
- Lots of spare equipment for responding to emergencies, some hidden in an under-floor locker
- Front facing camera with large display for improved visibility when docking
- Stormlink compatible
- Emergency roof hatches
- Fire hose outlet systems, 2 front, 2 rear
- Spacious cabin with 90 seats total, functional bathroom, kitchen, large bridge and hidden equipment store
- Intelligent hull design to give as much usable cabin and deck space as possible
- Custom branding with TRN and Islander logos, plus information plates
- Bathroom with working tap, shower and mirror
- Kitchen with detailed appliances (oven, microwave and fridge/freezer), cupboards, sink and fire extinguishers and first aid kits

Instructions:
- Enter the bridge. Walk over to the left dashboard at the front
- Switch on “Electrical Systems”
- When you wish to turn the engines on, ensure that the “Engine Ready” lockable button is on, then turn the starter
- When you wish to move away, enter the captains seat and either use the throttle lever, or your 3 and 4 keys to control the combined throttle/clutch. Simply push forwards or hold 4 to accelerate
- Please note, if you accelerate too quickly right after starting the engine it may stop as a safety measure. Simply start it again and this will cancel the safety stop
- To turn off the engine either turn off the “Engine Ready” button, or the “Electrical Systems”

To refuel, use the frontmost ladders to get onto the roof of the main cabin, then walk along it and carefully move down onto the bow of the boat. You will then see a small orange refuelling panel and a spare hose. Take the hose and connect it to your fuel source, and then back to the Islander, then flick the breaker to begin refuelling. When the fuel level stops rising, refuelling is done.

Thanks to the generators and solar panels, the batteries will charge during normal use. If they need to be charged quickly, bring the throttle to around 0.1 and power will be passed mainly to the generators. If sat at a dock, you can also use the front charging connector, but this is unlikely to ever be needed.

The Islander 1 and particularly the Islander 2 suit their roles incredibly well, but I realised there was a gap left in the Islander line-up for a higher capacity, slightly longer-range boat, and thus the TRN Islander 3 XL was born. I wanted to experiment with a slightly different design, so moved the bridge to the rear of the boat and upwards, clearing some additional space at the front of the cabin for more seating, thereby differentiating the Islander 3 from the previous Islander 2 XT, which the 3 XL is based off. This was also helped by eliminating a large portion of the rear viewing deck, and opting instead for mainly covered areas, and a smaller, more functional rear outer deck. Despite this, logic remains mostly the same as in the Islander 2 XT, and it retains many of the features that make the Islander line so compelling. The bridge retains the same equipment and controls as the Islander 2 XT, and somewhat also of the earlier Islander 1, making it easy to transition between captaining any of the Islander branded boats.
