Fastest boat challenge!

[kola2DONO]

The KSC have long needed to rent fast boats to resque capsules landed in the sea due to no food remaining in the capsules.

This costs KSC very much, so they came up with another idea! Why not build the boats ourselfs?

KSC has paid an experienced boat mechanic (you) to make some prototypes, try to make the fastest boat possible and follow theese rules :

- Only jet engines

- Must have 1 cockpit ( no external seats )

- Must travel on the water, not fly above.

- No mods only (Except Mechjeb and FAR)

Good luck!

I managed to do 144.6m/s btw.

Leaderboard :

- 1 Darren9 260m/s

- 2 kola2 - 144.6m/s

- 3

- 4

- 5

Sorry if this has been done before.

Am I allowed to use other mods?

Am I allowed to use other mods?

Only mechjeb (i have no idea why anyone would want it on a boat, but it's okay) and FAR.

How can I start directly from water instead of runway? It's annoyng to move from the runway to the ocean everytime...

PS Other than modify the persistent file into the saves folder, this is more annoyng because I have to reload the save everytime

Would a hydrofoil design be acceptable?

Similarly, would kerbal alarm clock be an allowable mod? I don't expect to use it much here, but not sure about uninstalling/reinstalling it.

nice challenge,

I have a quad-engine that can go just over 260m/s, hydrofoils stay below the water and the engines attach without the debug/partclip menu.

Damn, hydrofoils work in KSP? Gotta try that!
