Description

A simple & lightweight speedboat, capable of hitting speeds of around 30-35 m/s. This version is equipped with a launcher, allowing you to drive to the beachfront and deploy this boat (GPR not included). The first two photos vary slightly from the actual craft. (which are shown at the bottom)

I was actually making an SR-71 when I messed up a bit (depends on your definition of ‘a bit’) and I realised that this made a pretty decent speedboat. The fuel tanks and the wheesly engine provides plenty of deltaV, so you can go pretty far. And yes, I have made a BDA version of this, which didn’t turn out too bad actually.

Instructions:
Submerge partly into water, the edge of the Mk2 parts should be just below the waterline
Stage to separate from trailer
Press 1 to toggle thrust reverser, and activate the engines
Ease out of the trailer, press 1 again and turn around
Have fun!
A stock aircraft called ‘Gale’ Speedboat (with towed launch trailer). Built with 65 of the finest parts, its root part is dockingPort3.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.5.
