TRY THE DEMO FIRST!!!!!
Click "See Item in Second Life" below to be taken directly to a rezzer podium for this boat.
Take up to 16 passengers (+ 1 driver) on fantastic tours of Second Life in this ultra-realistic Touring Boat while you either monitor things from inside the bridge, or join the party and drive from any other seating position on the boat including the bar or bartender position, or even standing on the dock!
This boat has full-functioning instruments and switches and boasts a minuscule region transition time of under 3 seconds (it handles region crossings extremely well and fast).
This is a custom scripted vehicle and is meant specifically for mouse-look drivers, though it drives in third person just fine. It has many innovations and is a high performance, low-lag vehicle.
This innovative boat has the following features:
• Made to be modded. Add things to it or remove them!
• Custom made graphical depth finder for this boat with auto-depth ranging

If you have any issues with this boat please contact me at your earliest convenience. I strive to make my customers happy 100 percent of the time and I make great efforts to do so.
NOTE: This boat drives realistically and takes some practice to park it due to drifting, as does a real boat. You cannot turn off the fuel system in this boat but it can go for many hours before needing to be refueled. This boat is 57 Li when at rest but is 84 Li when moving. I urge you to test drive this boat before buying it not only because I'm proud of it, but I want you to be happy with your purchase as well.

Its a good ferry but barely modify and battery charge is unnecessary burden
I wanted a ferry , but This has fell short of what I quite wanted. The boat seems to have a mind of its own when crossing islands near each other. It says modify, but I cant put my UK flag pole near the mast. It wont let me, as It wont allow to edit just one piece of mast to add my flag pole unlike my hovercrafts. its alright, but dark, manage to lighten most of the ships colours, i think the most annoying thing is you just cant take out, if the battery is flat. To run commercial ferry crossings, having to wait to charge a battery is a none starter, I rather see this dispensed with.
excellent for any occasion
if you like to party on the open water, this is the ship for you. the bar and open sitting area make for great parties and just relaxing and having good conversation. the controls are extremely realistic and fun to operate on the open water
Best touring trawler out there
Amazing work, the fact you can customize and change things around is a plus . Large passenger capacity makes it ideal for our Tours company. About the fuel, that was mentioned earlier , it is a matter of simply checking your fuel gauges and also just press button to switch to the other tank. The fuel pump system is cheap so it is not a big issue. This has quickly become one of our favorites for our group.
Talk about a SALE Boat! ^_^
Hey now hey now! Don't mind the pun! This is one hot little vessel. My main attractions to this guy? PRICE and MODIFY!! But when you get down to it, this is one nicely crafted ship.
When it comes to features, they did not skimp in the least with this one. Tons of seating in back for friends or family, removable bar, super realistic cabin and controls. Would get 5 stars but there is no way to turn off the fuel system! Not a huge problem, but needing to rez a fresh boat on a long Blake Sea journey is not exactly a dandy time ;-D
