ROLL-steering
This boat was designed in the late 1930s by XVI and never built due to WWII, until now by said Roman numeral, it has a wooden frame plated with aluminium and re enforced with modern carbon fibre, it is powered by a Aqua-Jet (impeller) system that propels it to speeds of 90mph,

This was inspired by various water speed record boats of the 30s and 40s


ENJOY! :)

    @PlanesOfOld maybe try using the floating blocks more on the sides of the boat, not in the center. Just an idea.

    yea, ive found that to be a big problem with small boats, never used to happen with floating blocks, I may even try to use them in the next boat to aid in stability@TheCar
