Vessels in the BBW “river” series:

This series began with what I feel is a necessary presentation for a qualified Stormworks designer is their own version of starter boats. A theme of the Canadian Coast Guard was selected largely as this is my homeland of Canada with one of the largest coast lines of the world plus massive river and lake networks. The boats are named for major rivers in Canada and/or the people those rivers were themselves named after. The general shape of the boat is maintained throughout with only slight changes in hull shape.

BBW Columbia Gen3
A slightly deepened hull for keeping the main deck higher above the water as per an operator request. This also gave more height below deck with room for a second sleeping bed. Now with speargun for shark encounters.

BBW Thelon
Thelon design began as improving on the Gen 3 to reduce slipping off the deck. Improvements continued to fully enclose the upper engine and cargo bay. It is now well suited to operating in arctic conditions with increased heating and durability. Armor and rifles for defence from wildlife.

BBW Yukon
Arctic adventurer high capability design. Three times the mass of the Columbia. Needs the larger boat dock to spawn.
