Very happy to have surprised you once more. Thank you for the kind words. This was an interesting journey. It all started by making 1 giant wedge shape in the starter dock. Unhappy with that look, to its overall length, some re-shaping began. I then remembered my love of pivots and thought, why not make it longer. I figured 2/3 of the starter dock length was about right. A lot of blocks later, eventually the unfold process was successful. Then the tower took shape and was designed to move back for balance. But that left it fairly empty and I played around with the idea of putting a helicopter in the lower compartment, but the Med Bay and custom door system were developed and 3 designs later, bingo. The Crane also went through several designs including an automatic deployment system & the physics were very unhappy with that installed. This boat spent a lot of time at the FJ Dock & Hanger Workbenches in order to paint and sequence everything, once the final shape had formed. Then the water testing began. Many trials and tribulations were had. Weight balancing was fun & thankfully you reminded us the pivot glitch was not allowed, as I was playing around with it for the first time, to bring down the tower weight. Overall, this was a very fun build experience and I hope everyone enjoys this unit! Lots of great builds so far. Looking forward to seeing the rest in action. Great video.

Hi 454ss @454ss Stormworks Gaming, @Discarding_Sabot here;
first of all thanks for the challenge itself, it really made me go out of my way to build my next career boat.
Now, to address your questions, and some details I realise I forgot to mention in W/S descriprion:
- Skipper and Kowalsky are indeed a reference to the Penguins, first appeared in Dreamwork's Madagascar. If you ckeck the beds in crew quarters, they are called Rico and Private.
- The turbines power the Pump Jets (Waterjets) via RPS outlet and a couple of gearboxes. In fact, water jets are the main source of thrust, while jet exhaust does not come into play below 80% throttle, and it's limited to 20% nozzle opening (can be modified with slider on microcontroller)
- For better experience, turn ignition on, then look outside, then navigation lights, then look outside again
- There are 3 identical instrument groups with a paintable sign labeled "Air Quality Control" around the boat
- I forgot to mention where the main controls are in my description; I'm glad you immediately found the main breaker. The controld for jet trim (Pump Jet vertical pitch) and Advanced Docking System are overhead between the front seats
Lastly, I'd like to thank all the other participants to the contest, because my next boat will contain many design features I've seen on you builds. Your boats are terrific, and I love them
I should have said this part before, but I was really on my toes until this video came out ;)

You are very welcome, I am happy the challenge had so many amazing contestants and entries!
I see, that is what I figured, the jets were powering the water jets :) I love the penguins from Madagascar, very fitting! Thanks for the extra description

Hello, Zynoa Here. First of Thank you for giving us this opportunity. This is my first ever build submitted to the workshop. You did pronounce my name correctly, I make a lot of typos, EXC. is etcetera, the rear door that requires you to hold the button to open is a diesel tank, and the hold down is to prevent any accidental opening of the tanks on each side. The indicators on the deck are just little night lights that turn on at night along with the name on the sides. The Screen the the back left does not work in this version (haven't learned how to do a Sonar yes).. You can choose the drive modes either with the engine on or off makes no difference. The left fines just adjust the lower fins on and off, the reason for that is with them on it's faster, off its more stable with harsh weather. The Front screen on the starboard uses both sets of controls on each side of the screen for the spotlights, and water cannon with different control methods. The auto track will lock on to any target in its view if the camera and spotlight are on it will look at the locked-on target...
Again Thank you, i look forward to seeing what you do with all these different crafts, and with suggestions, I can make this and other builds better for the future. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Sorry for Not putting it clearly but the armoury Code is the date of foundation (1351844) and for the heli is a bit goofy as I built it so it could fit, so I put the throttle lever with Range from 1 to -1 but you should only use from 0 to 1 to avoid problems with the engine and for takeoff I recommend putting the Alt hold first then the gyro and detaching last as everything is very close together. Love your videos and waiting to see the next creations 🎉

[@florian31840]

Thank you for all the good things you said about my creation ! I will try to optimize my engine power like you said and maybe make better use of the space bellow deck. Next time I promise all the buttons will show english label ;-)
