Mod idea to use Far Harbor boat with water animations as Player boat

[Gonzoguns]

Curious if anybody is working on a Player boat you can use to travel anywhere there's water, oceans and rivers, looking at the animations and the boat for the Far Harbor trip seems to be something that could be made with some scripting and duplicate model of the boat, steering could be keyboard like walking control, water animations are already made for the boat wake and water splash.

 

I have a sailboat in Oblivion that works great and can hold 3 companions with the player standing on the deck, the NPC's and player are locked to the deck while traveling, the boat is easy to use, moves forward and backwards at different speeds using multiple forward or backwards key strokes, and can be docked anywhere.

 

Ever since I took my 1st ride on that boat to Far Harbor I wanted it for my own use.

 

I could probably make it but with work don't have the time to invest, anybody else working on an idea like this?

I guess there must be a reason why Bethesda decided not have sailable boats and driveable cars ? In good old Far Cry 2 I used to use the boats a lot, and it was always fun trying to dodge enemy gunfire as you went under a bridge :ohmy:

I was just scouring the web for something like this, found this post. please dear god someone plz make a usable boat. Generators use motors right? there's gas cans and wood everywhere... its fully lore friendly that we should have a boat lol

One of the issues with that is that the engine is dogshit,and can't handle the player going faster than a vertibird.
