ik, its hard to find a boat that is efficient and in budget, bu this is good

Thanks folks! I came by just checking on things. Wow 2,000 subs.
MrBeast toy and jordygrow: thank you. Its nice to hear personal views.
Working to the very limited budget was tough. That is part of engineering though. Having "constraints".

This boat is actually great.

damn its efficient

Reminder this is for "Classic" game mode start. For a "Career" mode start consider the McKenzie:

(though apparently the Devs have also changed budgets there too)

Minor update: Having learned from Thelon changed the side ladder positions to add a fall off guard for when switching from the pilot house to boat sides. This will cut down on the falling off into the water.

Updated 2023 07 23:
= Testing it myself the dev's changed base game issues on money and what radiators there are... soo... I released an update to that
= handheld transponder locator added to bow of the pilot house. Don't use them much myself but an operator was asking for one. Did manage to fit in the new budget.
= Have successfully test spawned a classic career start with this version (2023 07 23)

@DeathGollum97 this boat is made for the very start of classic career so only the handheld transponder locator was an option. I don't find them reliable but have decided to add it into today's update.

Where is the transponder??

ah kk thank you very much! :D

Added the Alpha gear instructions to a Discussion thread. Click on the discussion tab to read. Its the same as below with the addition of:

Alpha is blue in the centre of the row closest to the seat
Beta is red just right of centre of the row closest to the seat

Gears are controlled by buttons in front of the pilot seat
Easiest engine start is both gears off and throttle at least part way up
Once moving throttle up to full 100%
Then switch on alpha gear

>>>

To go into Beta only gear
Get into alpha only as above
Give a moment to build up speed
Hit the Beta gear to on
Quickly hit Alpha to off

>>>

If you want full efficient both gears
Get into alpha only as above
Give a moment to build up speed
Hit the Beta gear to on

very nice boat but im a little confused on how to use the alpha gear

Checked. All parts still valid. With the new handhelds you might want to swap something in, such as a Weapons DLC pistol and ammo. For the first few safe area issues this shouldn't be an issue anyway.

Happy to see more and more subs. Glad to help you get your games started. Well its not a sizzler it does work with its tight budget, you can fix it, you can do a few different missions. For the objective of a "qualifier" boat I'm pleased over 1,300 have made use of it.

Thanks. Welcome to hear feedback good and bad details as thats how we improve each other.

Nice ship (: Helped me start out
