**WARNING**
Tons of rowing jargon ahead. Non-rowers beware.

This 8 man shell, unlike the last one, has almost perfect set. I kind of cheated with this because as you may notice there are "rigger floaties" on the underside of the oarlock. Without them this shell would capsize faster than you can say "Keep the set". The only cosmetic difference other than this is the larger blades, needed because the original model barely skimmed the surface. Now the blades actually push the water. In this version, the oars reach the catch and finish at almost double the speed of the original, so if you use the controls the same way the amount of check will be unbearable. Therefore I would use the VTOL slider to bring it to the catch and finish, because then you can control it to have a quick drive and a slow recovery. Just a warning, for whatever reason 6 seat's rigger and oar tends to pop off, so take it a bit slow.

Controls:
VTOL down brings it to the catch (beginning of stroke)
VTOL up brings it to the finish (end of stroke)
Brake squares the blades

How to row:
Similar to the last model, but tweaks have been made to make the boat move faster. Using Z and X like the last one tends to be... messy. The best way to row is to use the VTOL slider. Slowly bring the slider all the way down, then hold Brake. Then bring the slider all the way up as fast as you want/can, and let go of brake right before it reaches the end. Repeat until you have a good rhythm going. It may take a few tries. The fastest I've gone at a consistent rate is about 22 mph, way faster than the fastest 8 in the world. Steering is iffy, I will add a version soon which will enable sharper turns and stuff.

Fun tip: Activator 1 engages hyperdrive

Edit: There seems to be a problem of oars falling off and things going haywire. Row with caution
