My next boat design. Not as complex and exciting as the hovercraft previously but I really wanted to make one of these. It has moving engines which can also be stowed with the VTOL slider and at 50 mph going straight it does nice little jumps over the waves. I will be making a small dinghy very similiar to this in future to go on the back of something bigger!

    You sir, are a master. You are blurring the line between actual 3D modeling software and simpleplanes.

    @DethFromAbove That looks pretty cool. I'm up for making it. I know the sub launching platform has been done already but I'd like to go to the next level and be able to pick the sub back up and place back on board. I really need to make myself a list for suggestions so I don't forget one.

    @ Authros I'm sure you have a few things in mind already but when you run out of ideas you should look into Odyssey Marine. They are deep-ocean exploration outfit that specializes in research and recovery of deep shipwrecks and historical sites. The Odyssey Explorer is a pretty epic marine vessel that has an exploratory sub that can be launched from the back. Just and idea ;) it would be cool to see it done with your attention to detail. Keep up the awesome builds!

    Simple but still perfect.. I love the adjustable trim and how well she actually handles.. You have a good understanding of boat physics as well as aircraft design.. Nice job! I can't wait to see the larger MV you will be constructing to launch this from!
