There is a 2022 refit version with the new radars, changes to MC and various small improvement plus the very handy player-onboard requirement for the engines. If you fall off the engines will power down so you can swim back to your boat.

Cool. These boats would do well. My best rush-ready, as you put it, is likely the Pike M. which I call a "dashing rescue boat"

It has a really small mass for its engines and cruises at over 40 nm with a long range and can short dash even faster. It deals with the waves and storms differently, largely by letting the tall waves flow over top of most of the boat. The air and exhaust intake systems are able to deal with that. Also if it ends up upside down you can probably use the azimuth to get it back upright. The Arctic Pike has done that alot. Arctic goes a bit slower for even longer range to do arctic package runs. That makes Pike M the "dashing rescue boat" in my barn. (Pike with no M has no map and is effectively the same otherwise)

What I like is a rush-ready setting: spawn the boat, press the button and you are full throttle to your target. Maybe the biggest issue is the hull instability in the strongest winds and deep water waves, and they are common in Stormworks, so I prefer storm-safe hulls in this game :)

@kev4ev thanks for the compliment. The MC is indeed from someone else. Its link is there now. What are some of the features you like or dislike above the Columbia?

Update to text. Added in the Radar MC link.

Really interesting. can't find a link for radar controller. Is it yours?
