Where is the pilot? 
very nice, but i prefer larger ships like cruises or cargo ships where i can control with the stern and bow thrusters. Something similar to Ship Simulator extremes and navigating out and into busy ports will be fun.
It is a very, very nice-looking model, but that sound is absolutely shocking. I wouldnāt have released it expecting payment when it sounds like a microlight.

The speedboat is a fun idea for exploring the scenery around places like SF Bay.
A couple of questions.. I seem to get dumped into the water from a height of 10 feet and sometimes the boat turns over. The world map starting screen warns you that you are at 10 feet.
Also, there seem to be some āholesā in SF Bay and if you hit one of them, you flip over.
I also tried to make the little ānavā system work by picking an aviation waypoint in the bay, but when I picked āplazaā (near Oakland) and pushed activate, it didnāt seem to work.
Anyway this is a great idea and I think it has amazing potential. So many places to explore. NY, Hong Kong, London from the Thames, Puget Sound, the Inside Passage from Vancouver northward.
I will get the Japan update and try Tokyo Bay tomorrow.
!
Someday, if the highways get fixed nice, we can have āfull scaleā American Truck Simulator with full length routes.

Hi there. I just purchased the speedboat today. I live on the Red river in Winnipeg, Canada and wanted to start at my place and cruise down to āThe Forksā. When it starts the boat is way up in the air and I canāt find a way to get it on the water. Please give me a link to the complete instructions for using this boat. Iāve restored several beautiful mahogany runabouts and this is a perfect add on for me, but without a manual Iām totally lost as to how to use it.
