Thunder SAR boat:
Built by Wrox
This is a highly detailed Search and Rescue (SAR) boat I created for a challenge. It is designed to transport small cargo and handle all types of emergency and rescue operations. Due to the challenge's time limit, the boat is currently not very fast, and the cooling system is underperforming; however, I plan to fix these issues in the future, along with the stability, as it can behave unpredictably in strong winds.
