You have two options to use the commands with the boat.
Either using the pop-up menu when clicking the boat or using the command shortlist (see below Commands).
The boat has two modes that can be switched using the page down button.
Cruise mode uses 5% throttle increments and reaches a top speed of 38 knots.
At 0% throttle you can strafe the boat to the left or right, by pressing shift and arrows left and right simultaneously.
Keep in mind that shift and mouselook use the same command code in LSL.
Pursuit mode uses only one speed set to 100% throttle and is slightly faster than cruise mode.
This is more appropriate for quick burst on the throttle with quick maneuverability.
Controls:
Page Up - horn
Page Down - toggles Cruise mode or Pursuit mode
Cruise Mode:
Forward and reverse arrow controls the throttle in 5% increments
Left and right arrow control turning
At 0% throttle shift + left or right arrow will enable the side thrusters
Pursuit Mode:
Forward and reverse arrows control forward and reverse thrust
left and right arrows controls steering
SailSafe
As with the FlySafe in my aircraft, I've introduced a SailSafe mode in this boat.
When activated both Pilots, passengers and vessel will become phantom and set to temporary.
This will help you to sail through obstructions, shallow waters and avoid collisions with other boats.
When VICE is enabled SailSafe will not work, obviously this would give you an unfair advantage.
Tow Line
I've added a 40 meter tow line script to the package, this can be dropped in another boat to tow them.
"listens anyone" would be used to hand to people you need to tow (but beware not all boats are tow friendly)
"listens to owner" can only be towed by you.
You need to be within a 20 meter radius for the tow line scripts to connect.
I would not recommend towing at speeds above 10 kts, but it's possible.
Modding:
Interior:
To help you save on prims we devised a simple interior rez system.
You can rez your interior anywhere you are allowed to build.
You can also modify and create you own interiors fully to your taste and even swap or sell interiors.
When the interior is rezzed you will see that it is linked to a small red ball that is just under the center bridge floor.
The red ball is the root prim and will always rez at the same spot, which is the center zero position and rotation of the ship.
To create your own interior just unlink the current default interior and remove that, then link your new interior to the red ball.
You then swap out the old interior that is located inside the contents of the transparent sphere around the copilot seat with your new one and finished.
RIBs:
There are 3 RIBs located inside the contents tab of the right propeller.
Do not rename these as they need the exact same name they were given for the script to recognize.
You can however freely change their textures and swap then out for the default USCG ones inside the right propeller.

The Command Ship For BSDF
I love this ship. It has a lot of customizability to it to really make it your own. The ship I have, WPC 62408 USS Garth FairCheng has become the command vessel for the fleet. My only complaint is there is no weapon system on board. Normally a sentinel class comes eqiuped with a cannon. Not to worry though, I'm still figuring a way to solve this.
Still a 5/5
best boat
this ship is the best of the ships i have sailed so far. i been explained by Tig how to link the helipad on it and it works perfectly. if i had more stars instead of 5 i would give them. 10/10 for the boat and 10/10 for the help. keep up the good work.
Wanted the best, and found it.
OMG. this ship really stands out among anything. Im in love honestly!
I spent a half day researching the Marketplace, and inworld to look for a good ship, and it wasnt easy. After just seeing one of this being docked near Blake sea, i decided to buy it.
And guess what: i dont need to look for another boat ever, this has it all! It looks awesome, it works awesome, crosses sim like a champ! I tried it as soon as i bought it yesterday, and this is the one and only boat i have that wont mess up, or mess my avatar up, after an hour of sim crossings, guess if it made me happy! Its fantastic for sure!
Now, after buying it and really trying it out, i can say that i would easily have paid a lot more for this ship.
Thank you so very much for creating this! And please keep it alive with updates in the future if ever needed <3
Amazing Craftsmanship & Amazing Customer Service!
I bought this vessel for an organisation to be used across a vast amount of settings, from communities to the mainland and it has been perfect, capable of linking the interior and helicopter pad and having a floating home to its crew! It handles amazingly, both in general circumstances and at those pesky sim crossings.
When I wanted a bit of help in wanting a texture for a certain part of the Cutter, the customer service and friendliness was second to none!
Love love love!
Another Outstanding Item
This ship looks and functions as intended. The textures that come with it are easy to modify, and I was able to modify this cutter into a recreation of a Navy Coastal Patrol Ship, the USS Firebolt PC-10. It even looks great in port with the rezzable interior!
