Auto Credit Based on Decrepit's Mini/Micro Boat challenge!
when you spawn, press 1 to detach the SHARK and use vtol up to accelarate. you can use throttle and vtol at tha same time for higher speeds in climbing and diving. use yaw and roll at the same time to steer. (can be used as a submarine) Enjoy! rate and comment!
P.S. I know it exceeds weight limit, but it is a really small craft :)

@BritishNarwhal hmm. Possibly have less power and a bigger hydrofoil. With less power the hydrofoil sinks, with more power (speed) it will rise. Though this can be tricky
@Nickasaurus ok. but, do u have any idea how i could make it dive better? without the weight?
While I like the size and upvote it because I like it as it's own boat it doesn't meet competition requirements
@BritishNarwhal yeah but the weight limit stands as is. It used to be even lighter so please don't argue about it
@Nickasaurus but it also needs to be heavy enough so it has the ability to dive and overcome the cocpits flotation.
@Nickasaurus ok, but does it still meet the expectcations for size? cause i think this is quite small, despite it's weight.
@Nickasaurus it still weighs over 8000 pounds.
@BritishNarwhal what does it weigh without the platform?
@Nickasaurus and the challange says that wo can use looks for bonus points.
@Nickasaurus sry about the platform, but i do not consider that as part of the boat fot it is not ment to be attached. also, i prefer not to use mods unless the aircaft wont work without them.
@BritishNarwhal hmmmm i want to let this in but you have to cut back on weight. if the platform has most of the weight try slimming down there, i have lightweight infinite fuel mod if you need it.
@Nickasaurus i know that it exceds weight limit, i used it for the challenge because it is a mini boat/sub and it seemed small enough to be considered mini/micro size.
very unique and very good at adapting. top speed was good and the submarine aspect earns a couple extra bonus points, controls are difficult but decent. excedes weight limit
