Raspberry Crystal Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm looking for a vehicle which looks and sounds nice, and is designed to work in river channels. Something which is easy to steer, has slower speed settings available and which doesn't have excessive problems crossing sim boundaries. I'm not too worried about space for passengers, though having one extra seat would be a bonus. Cruise control is important to me as it reduces my hand problems, so canoes and row boats don't really work for me unfortunately. Any ideas welcome.

Coby Foden Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Here's nice small motor boat. It can take passenger, slowest speed is very slow. Easy to drive, has cruise control. The boat is modifiable. And it's FREE. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HVW-Emergency-Response-Boat/15213689 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireschen Hesten Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I've used the boat linked by Coby and the yellow life raft in the related items a lot around Blake Sea/Satori/Nautilus/Corsica/Gaeta and from the Rez area next to my Bellisseria on pier stilt when I lived there. Just jump in and set it going all you have to do is steer, handles region crossings well at faster speeds. If you want slower than this boat will go get the life raftΒ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwar Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Β Β This is one of my fave boats in SL. It's a row boat (with cruise control!), but it also has an engine. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FISHING-BOAT-Moby-Dick/18266406 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Tuff has some nice small boats. I think I have this one or one like it. It's cheap and well reviewed. Demo first if you can. I don't remember how much mouse clicking or scrolling is needed to steer it.Β https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/TUFF-Old-Grey-Rowboat/36397?page=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspberry Crystal Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Thank you for the suggestions so far. I recognised the emergency response boat, and wonder if I already have this somewhere in my inventory, so on my list to try.@Orwar's suggestion led me to a great deal of fun distraction at the creator's demo sim. The row boat suggested fitted my criteria, is very easy to steer and has lovely animations, so thank you for that idea. I will check out the Tuff range today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RIB's, like the 420 and Cadet, which are for sure ideal for tight space exploring like rivers and such are made by TMS (but they're sold along side the Bandit boats, so I won't tell if you don't!Β π) Speaking of Bandit, the 170 is also pretty good for exploring. It's a little bigger then the RIB's but not over powered and is easy to maneuver about with.Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
