"Little Mirth" Fishing Boat

Under no circumstance should anyone re-post this vehicle without my permission. If you significantly modify both the looks of the vehicle, and logic and wish to post it, contact me prior to posting it.


This is my first fishing boat for Captain_Cockerels Build Challenge India, to make a beginner base fishing boat, for <30k, it features systems like heading holds (2 modes) made by me, the boat is very stable (Can handle arctic waves at 100% without sinking), it is very fuel efficient, and easy to use. If you want a cheap money maker for early game, this is the boat for you!

• 15 Cylinder Supercharged Engine
  
• Extremely Good Fuel Economy
  
• Makes More Money Than It Costs To Run
  
• Handles Very Well For A Small Boat
  
• <$24000
  
• Very Easy To Understand & Operate
  
• 125 Fish Capacity
  
• 2 Onboard Fishing Rods
  
• Dual Purpose Engine (Explained @In-Depth Description)
  
• Fits In Beginner Base Without Folding Parts
  
• MOB Detector (Man Overboard)

This is a fishing boat spawnable in the beginner base for $23750. It also sports a 15 cylinder supercharged dual purpose engine. You may ask "What is a dual purpose engine?" the answer to this question is, it has 2 uses, as a main drive engine, and an APU at the same time. Once battery charge gets too low on the boat, the engine will automatically kick on and run at a pretty high RPS to recharge the battery, and will turn off once complete, or if you wish, whilst it is in the APU mode, you can start the engine like normal and can get going. I might optimize it further, or add a small generator to possibly make the vessel able to recharge other boats if would like to add it. It also has bilge pumps in the engine room in case any leakage occurs and you need to pump out water. As far as I know the boat also has all the correct marker lights ie: nav, mast, stern lights that it needs. It goes 11 knots at it's maximum speed, which may seem low, but keep in mind this fishing boat is purely meant for coastal fishing on a small scale. You can take it from the beginner coast guard, go to the little bay near the lighthouse to the west of the beginner base, fish until full, and sell at holt. This makes the boat a really good beginning fishing boat as it is inexpensive, cheap to run, and earns a lot of money for early game, and can be used just for fun as well if you want to do some small scale fishing. It also has a small anchor you can lift by hand and throw it overboard to anchor the boat when fishing, and it is light enough to pull back on board once you want to get going again. It is also very stable, as it can be capsized from a tsunami or big waves, and it will right itself fairly quickly, so do not panick if it does capsize. Overall I think this boat is a very beginner friendly vessel, that is easy to use and can get your career game rolling.

Important note: You can find the fishing rods in the engine room on the walls.

Operate Boat As Desired



This Boat features 2 different types of heading holds. The "Lock Current Heading" mode and the "Desired Heading" Mode. As you may be able to tell, the button will lock your current heading, and the keypad is for you to input your desired heading (Any number but 0, 0 is off)



Overall the crane is really simple to use. If you wish to open the fish access hatch, tie a rope onto it (Found in the sliding hatches near the crane) and unlock the crane hardpoint & unlock the hatch from the crane controls which is near the anchor resting area, and you can move the crane up or down to open/close the hatch. Once finished and you wish to close the hatch, just turn off the unlock hardpoint, and hatch buttons and lower the crane until everything clicks into place, you can detach the rope or keep it on if you wish, whichever works better.


Attach a hose from gantry or other fuel source and start pumping (Pumper must have a pump as the fishing boat doesn't have an onboard fuel pump)


Added Generator and APU mode for the engine.
Found and fixed small issue with APU mode where it would still reset clutch even though APU mode wasn't active.
