The Insanely Fast Water Vehicle (TIFWV)

[CaneSugar]

I've not seen many boats so far. This one goes about 135m/s with 6 engines, it might be better to fix the back with some struds. It will also rotate much better if you remove the outer most engines.

Please tag modded crafts as [mod craft], only 100% stock craft can be tagged as [stock craft]

My bad I thought it was stock , probably regard b9 aerospace as an integral part of the game at this point.

What dark magic is this?! Anything of mine that goes in the drink never gets very far before ripping to shreds.

That's because you have parts getting in and out of the water (you see splashes, right? and hear weird metallic sounds). And every time those parts get into the water, they check physics to not be annihilated due to speed. But, if you parts are either always underwater, or outside of it.... well, then terminal velocity is the limit.

Rune. Notice the two big honking B9 structural parts are the only parts breaking the water, and they count as submerged.

Thanks for the tip. Makes sense!

There are some quite extreme boat designs, generally less mass is faster and some parts (like the tail fin) can go all the way to the upper edge before being "under water" or classed as breaking the surface. I got to 310m/s with B9 engines on stock parts, rocket boats can go a bit faster.

Love it.

Here I was thinking my boat design was super fast but yours is like twice as fast ^^ anyway that thing is mean looking, is it up for download?

[Darren9]

Yes, you can have the craft file. I can't even remember who I pinched the design of the under water stabilizers from but I'm sure they won't mind me passing it on You need to launch with the gear retracted and walk a pilot under the seat to board, then lower the gear and drive (slowly) to the water. There's Tweakscale and ModularFuels modules in there but they don't change anything, it should be good without them installed, let me know if it isn't.
