How to unpack your boat
-------------------------------
rez the box
right click "open"
copy contents to inventory
==========================
Menu
------------
Activate the menu by clicking on the boat
The powerboat's speed is configurable through a simple to use menu system, you can set the desired speed levels for each of the six gears, this is where you turn the engine on and off too, please note the boat will still work with the engine off, it will just not give out an engine noise Ihandy if you want a bit of peace and quiet!
Sim border detector
------------------------
The boat has a detector that tells you in chat when a border is approaching, it can be turned on and off by clicking the central black divider between the seats, you will get a message telling you it has been activated or not when you click on it.
Turning tips
---------------
The boat is highly manouverable under speed and remember practice makes perfec! After a little practice, I can now turn on a small circle whilst motoring in 3rd or 4th gear, the trick is to tap the back arrow (reverse)just before the turn and accellerate out of the turn, keeping your finger on the left or right arrow as you go!
Speed and sim borders
--------------
Be careful not to set the gear speeds too high,Sixth gear can take you flying literally, great fun ok,, but Sim borders are dangerous things and you can find yourself sat on a cloud or with your feet up your bum if you are not careful.
Avoid sim corners, and try the slow down whilst crossing sim borders, try to cross at 90 degrees (straight accross) rather than at an angle.
Use the sim border detector!
Most importantly - Use the mini - map, you can see whrere you are going !
If the worst happens and you lose your boat you will find a copy in your inventory as it is copy enabled!
Enjoy your Boat :)

Nice boat, handles well, -1 star for the messed up permissions tho.
Over my whole range of Sail and Power boats I own, this is oine of the best and natural drive I've ever used. Fine tuning, accurate drive... and a lovely vintage accent wherever you can navigate. A must to have.
