Splash down M/S?

[Bobiii11121]

How fast can i go with a boat to avoid "splashed down" ?, my boat works fine, just when i accelerate too much it just splashes down.

Splashdown speed depends on part strength. I don't know precisely what are the maximum speeds for each parts, but for example radial intake has quite big strenght (i think it was 80?) and can jump around at quite higher speeds than normal parts.

The structural pylon part has strength of 999 and I've had it survive crashes at 200m/s+

The one interesting thing about "splashdowns" is that they occur only when the part enters the water.

If for example we got a part half or fully submerged at low speed, we can then accelerate to whatever speed we can and not encounter splashdowns at all. Although if the part in question would jump out of the water just for a second it would splashdown when returning to it. (I don't remember fully, but the same might be true if going from fully to partially submerged)

That way it's possible to make a boat that will sail at 300m/s with stock parts. The trick is to pick the right parts at the ship's water line so the whole part stays partially submerged, and be sure that the whole ship is stable enough so it doesn't make that part's fully surface.

Radial intakes I believe have a large impact tolerance too.

Keep yourself around 5 m/s to make sure that the craft will splash down in one piece, no matter how big it is.
