Loved the video @ProfNCognito! Can't wait for the next video man! So now your Hydrofoil Tug can do 130 Knots. So 1 Knot is 1.15 mph, which means that you can do 149.5, say 150 mph. That's pretty fast for a Boat to be honest, I don't even think the U.S. Navy Pegasus-class Hydrofoils went that fast. *Looks them up on Wikipedia* Yeah, they went 48 Knots Foilborne or 55.2 mph and USS Aries (PHM-5) is the Only one of the 6 Built preserved out at Gasconade, Missouri.

For my hydrofoil I just used a liquid meter that's clamped from -1 to 1 and just attached that to the control surfaces.

As you did in this video, I've had problems accidentally opening deck hatches when picking up/setting down NPCs. My way of solving that has been to put a button on the deck that has to be activated to unlock the hatches, that way they don't open when you don't want them open, I sank a boat that way recently!

Great video! I've never had much luck getting a working hydrofoil, glad you were able to pull it off.

Fluid nozzles max out at 6.0 L/s. Cats still work, you probably need 8 for each of those engines. I think you need smaller foils so it takes more speed to get out of the water. I use fluid meters instead of altimeters so that i don’t get dunked by high waves.

A Hydrofoil was such a cool choice for this design!

What about a version without hydrofoils but with fluid jets for shallow water rescue? With the fluid jets, I think you could reach the same speed maybe even higher speeds, without foils because it would be planing once you get up some speed. The hydrofoil is definitely good for efficiency and range.

I Love your Videos

I see dead people. Oh, wait, they're merely incapacitated. Phew! Speedy boat. Hmm. How about Speedy Boatzales for a name? If you feel up to it, I'd love a tutorial how you set up the hydrofoil. (c: I wish these flashing lights they hold when in the water were on life jackets so they kept flashing even when someone is unconscious (or dead even). Of course, not all will have (time to put on) a life jacket, as in IRL. Keep the series going, please -- I saw nothing at the end... (c;

You could use a different control method for delicate maneuvering using electric motors. The hydrofoil works fantastic for speedy trips though! I'd love to see a separate build video on it if you ever have the time.

since when did cats not reduce smoke and what do they do now? I usually use cats and nozzles so I never noticed

When you do missions you should steal their boats because it you can sell them

Game volume needs to be higher tbh, can't hear the wind and can barely hear the water when you jump in it

So you have hydrofoil tug boat so now what are you gonna do?

Kinda disappointed tbh... I just wanna see people actually do bigger ships in the career mode but whatever

Nice hydrofoil! Something that might help with roll stability is to have a wider plane in the front and maybe the back too that angles up at each end where you put your control surfaces. Having the control surfaces angled against each other should (theoretically, this is Stormworks we're talking about) create a dihedral wing angle which should want to stay upright on its own. Like this: i.ytimg.com/vi/0GW0FT1jb3A/maxresdefault.jpg You could also do some complex stuff with the control surfaces to lean one direction or the other to help you turn at high speed but that's likely to be very fiddly and turning like that will mess with the natural tendency to stay upright. For low speed you will prolly need rudders though.
